Revenue, as the Irish Tax and Customs administration, plays a critical role in securing Ireland’s fiscal, social and economic foundations. Its mission is “to serve the community by fairly and efficiently collecting taxes and duties and implementing import and export controls.” It has a staff of just over 7,000 and deals with over 4 million personal and business customers. In 2024 over €150 billion gross was collected in taxes, duties and other charges.
