Thousands to get tax statements this Friday

Marian Ryan, Consumer Tax Manager at Taxback.com: The notification of the tax liability from Revenue is likely to come as a surprise to many and a shock to others.
Do not panic — bear in mind that these monies will not have to be paid right away.
Do not to be alarmed at the amount owed — the Preliminary End of Year Statement will not include all tax credits and expenses that a person may be entitled to, so the amount owed could well be lower – or some people may even be due a refund

Use this as an opportunity to get your tax affairs in order. Most PAYE taxpayers never apply for all the refunds they are owed, and of those who do, many are unlikely to do so every year.
