Revenue to add 400 staff as tax take tops €41bn

Revenue is to take on an additional 400 staff by the end of the year as it scales up its regulatory and compliance capabilities and looks to maintain its strong performance over the past number of years.

It is recruiting a broad range of roles including taxation and legal professionals, economists, data analysts, and IT experts.

Approximately 230 of the roles will replace retirees following a decrease in the Revenue’s workforce since the economic crash which has seen its workforce dwindle to staffing levels akin to 1975.
