Your Employment Detail Summary (EDS) is a key document for your personal financial records in Ireland. It helps you stay organised, informed, and ready to respond to income verification requests with clarity and confidence.
This guide explains what the EDS is, what it includes, 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 clear, year-end breakdown of your:
-
Total pay
-
Taxable benefits
-
PAYE, USC, and PRSI deductions
This information is submitted by your employer(s) to Revenue throughout the year and compiled into a single summary you can access via your myAccount.
📌 Important: Employers no longer issue P60s. It is now your responsibility to download the EDS directly from Revenue.
What Information Does It Include?
Your Employment Detail Summary contains:
-
Employer name(s) and tax reference number(s)
-
Start and end dates of employment
-
Total gross income for the year
-
PAYE, USC, PRSI deductions
-
Benefits or notional pay (if applicable)
-
PRSI class and insurable weeks
👉 If you had more than one employer in the tax year:
Your EDS will show each employment as a separate section, including:
-
Multiple employer names
-
Unique employment IDs
-
Corresponding pay and deductions
✅ This gives you a complete overview of all your income and statutory deductions across 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 returns or grants
Having this document ready ensures you’re well-prepared, confident, and responsive when asked for proof of income.

Why Staying Organised Matters
Keeping your financial records organised — including documents like your Employment Detail Summary — reduces stress and saves time when dealing with banks, government agencies, or your accountant. It helps you feel more in control of your financial life and ensures you can respond confidently to any requests for information.
