How to check your Employment Detail Summary

The Employment Detail Summary shows the pay, Income Tax, USC, PRSI and local property tax deductions each employer reported for you in a year. Find it in myAccount under PAYE Services > Review your tax > Employment Detail Summary. Check the totals against your final payslip; if they differ, ask the employer to correct their submission.

Keep your credentials private

PAYEWise never asks for your myAccount or ROS password, PPSN or bank details. Open the official service in a separate tab and use this page alongside it.

Written by PAYEWise editorial team, plain-English tax writers working from Revenue sources. Tax review: pending appointment of a named tax-qualified reviewer. Reviewed 28 October 2026.

Section-by-section help

Labels reflect the current verified version of the Revenue service. Samples use fictional data only.

Gross pay

What it means: Total pay for tax purposes reported by the employer.
Who needs it: Everyone.
Where the figure comes from: Per employment row.
Pitfalls: Pension contributions reduce pay for tax but not for USC or PRSI, so figures can differ.

Gross income Taxable income Source R29

Income Tax paid

What it means: Tax deducted through payroll.
Who needs it: Everyone; this is the figure the refund estimator needs.
Where the figure comes from: Per employment row.
Pitfalls: Refunds paid through payroll reduce this figure.

Beyond self-service?

Foreign income, a rental business, a proprietary directorship or a Revenue intervention usually justify a professional. PAYEWise does not file returns; a partner accountant can quote a fixed fee.

Ask an accountant (no obligation; the free myAccount route always comes first)
