Monthly Employer Payroll (P30) Return

Your monthly payroll filing obligations — PAYE Modernisation

📅 Key Dates

14th monthly P30 deadline (non-ROS)
23rd monthly P30 deadline (ROS)
Each pay run PSR — Payroll Submission Required

📋 Overview

Under PAYE Modernisation, employers must report payroll details to Revenue every time they pay employees (Payroll Submission Report — PSR). The P30 is the monthly summary return that consolidates employer PAYE and PRSI and is due by the 14th or 23rd of the following month.

✅ How to File — Step by Step

  1. Run your payroll using Revenue-compliant payroll software.
  2. Submit a Payroll Submission Report (PSR) to Revenue every pay run (real-time reporting).
  3. At month end, the P30 consolidated return is generated automatically from your PSR submissions.
  4. Pay the PAYE and employer/employee PRSI due via ROS by the 23rd (or 14th for non-ROS).
  5. Ensure employee PPSN numbers are recorded — Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPN) are issued per employee.

⚠️ Penalty if Missed

Late filing attracts a €4,000 late filing surcharge per period. Unpaid amounts accrue interest at 0.0219% per day.
