Employment Detail Summary
Your Employment Detail Summary Ireland is an important document for your personal records. This guide explains what it is, why it matters, and how to access it through Revenue’s myAccount portal.
What Is an Employment Detail Summary?
The Employment Detail Summary has replaced the old P60 form. It provides a breakdown of your pay and statutory deductions (such as PAYE, USC, and PRSI) for the calendar year. This information is submitted by your employer to Revenue, and the summary is made available to you through your myAccount.
Employers no longer issue a P60 at year-end. Instead, you are responsible for downloading your Employment Detail Summary directly from Revenue’s website.
What Information Does It Include?
Your Employment Detail Summary provides:
-
Your employer’s name and tax reference number
-
Your total gross income for the tax year
-
PAYE, PRSI, and USC deductions
-
Benefits or notional pay, if applicable
-
Details of statutory deductions reported to Revenue
This summary gives a clear record of your employment income and deductions for the year.
Why Might You Need It?
You may be asked to provide your Employment Detail Summary for:
-
Mortgage or loan applications
-
Visa applications or renewals
-
Social welfare claims
-
Income verification for tax purposes
Having this document readily available ensures you can respond quickly and confidently to any request for proof of income. It also forms part of your overall financial records, helping you stay organised.
