Preparing the ROS P35 file

This utility facilitates fast, effective upload of your P35 to ROS. In order to use this facility, your company must be registered to use the Revenue Online Service (ROS).

If you have not yet registered - go to www.revenue.ie > Register for ROS

IMPORTANT NOTES

THE DEADLINE FOR YOUR P35 IS THE 15TH FEBRUARY. FAILURE TO MAKE A P35 RETURN BY THIS DATE WILL RESULT IN A FINE. (or 46 days after cessation of the business).

THIS IS EXTENDED TO 23RD FEBRUARY FOR ROS CUSTOMERS WHO PAY AND FILE ONLINE.

YOUR P35 CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE REVENUE COMMISSIONERS ONLINE THROUGH THE REVENUE ONLINE SERVICE (ROS) OR MANUALLY ON PAPER IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH ROS. 

***Please note, it is possible for employers with more than one payroll operating under a PAYE registration number to upload multiple files.  All files must be selected at the "add file" stage of the ROS upload by using the shift/ctrl button to select all relevant files, totals will amalgamate and create one declaration.  ROS will only allow the upload of multiple files when the files are in one location, Thesaurus Payroll Manager will give the same file name to the P35s so one/some of the files must be renamed to enable all relevant files to be saved in one location.
