ACCA is warning employees across Ireland about the risk posed by some online tax refund service providers that are seeking to manage people’s PAYE claims.
The professional accountancy body has said that such service providers also pose a risk to the harvesting of personal data and that their percentage fee structure could act as an incentive for these companies to illegally overstate refund claims for customers when submitting returns on their behalf to Revenue. These customers have no clear route to a right of redress should they find themselves out of pocket.
