Working for Revenue - What Our Staff Think ‘’I have worked in Revenue Legislation Service (RLS) for six years across three areas and two grades, and I still don’t think a day passes where an element of the work doesn’t surprise or intrigue me. From the writing of guidance material for taxpayers to the drafting of legislation, I have been involved in the application and interpretation of tax legislation at all levels. Revenue actively encourages and supports its staff to advance their skills and knowledge. For me this was highly evident when I undertook the ITI Chartered Tax Adviser exams, I was provided with study leave and refund of fees as well as numerous offers of help from my colleagues in case I ever had difficulties with the material. The work in RLS is constantly changing with different topics coming to the fore, new projects commencing, and continuous changes being made to improve our tax system. RLS is a fast-paced varied area which provides a lot of opportunities for growth and advancement to its staff, and I’d encourage anyone who is interested in the role to apply.” Aisling, Higher Executive Officer.
