Freepost - Revenue Commissioners?

Sunny Dayz

Does can anyone know if postage to Offices of the Revenue Commissioners are freepost? I can't see anything on their website.

Search for the word "Freepost" on www.revenue.ie and you'll get lots of addresses.

Ah! Thanks a million. I had looked under contact details on their website but it wasn't giving me anything - got my answer here - thanks very much.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread...but has anybody actually established whether all letters to the Revenue are FREEPOST...given the many different new addresses now in use?

I've had a letter returned by An Post stating that the address wasn't FREEPOST so I'm wondering if this has changed. Up tp now all post I had sent to Revenue had been marked FREEPOST and had been delivered without any problem.

Its crazy to see this post this morning a minute after I called the Revenue offices asking if they have received a letter from us as it was posted without a stamp on it in error!

Yes, they did receive it, it had not stamp on it and it didn't say "Free Post" on it either.

This is the text that appears on Revenue forms

Where to send your claim form

Completed claim forms should be sent to your Revenue office. Use any envelope and write ‘FREEPOST’ above the
address.

What I sent was a reply to an enquiry from a Revenue office in a provincial town. I just sent it to the address on the letter and marked the envelope "FREEPOST"....

I've heard of this problem before with Post Offices, and it is them that is wrong.

Most Revenue forms have that line printed on them. So whether you had a form in the envelope or a reply to a query - Mr. Postman would have no way of knowing the contents of your envelope.

Bring the form to their attention

Ya, but as I have already said...

How is the postman to know what is in the envelope? He's not going to open it to make sure there is a form with FREEPOST written on it now, is he? Or if it's a letter, send it back for paid postage?

Maybe we're talking at cross purposes here. Exaisle has already said that they wrote Freepost on the envelope and you've already agreed that An Post should have delivered it... but then you made reference to bringing a form to their attention (except obviously it's a sealed envelope so there could be anything in it!)...

Yes...it's irrelevant what was in the envelope. It was addressed to the address from which I received a letter from Revenue. That address didn't include "FREEPOST" (no letters from Revenue include that in the address as I'm aware) but as far as I knew, all letters to Revenue are FREEPOST, so I wrote FREEPOST on the envelope and didn't put a stamp on it.

As was said earlier it's an Post who are in the wrong here, all Revenue offices are Freepost.
