Overview

Collsoft is an established Irish payroll software provider offering comprehensive payroll processing with full Revenue compliance, including PAYE Modernisation, PRSI, USC, and direct Revenue Online Service submissions. It is particularly strong in the construction sector, with built-in RCT (Relevant Contracts Tax) support and CSO statistical reporting that many Irish builders and subcontractors rely on. Collsoft generates SEPA XML payment files for bulk payroll runs through AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Permanent TSB, streamlining pay day for larger teams. Best suited for Irish businesses with 6-50 employees, especially those in construction and professional services who need robust compliance and reporting out of the box.

Editor's verdict on Collsoft Payroll

stamped 2026-04-05

Collsoft is a credible, lower-cost alternative to BrightPay for Irish employers who don't need the BrightPay Connect cloud layer. Core payroll compliance - PAYE Modernisation, PRSI, USC, SEPA XML, auto-enrolment - is equivalent to BrightPay at a modestly lower annual licence fee. Its particular strength in RCT and CSO reporting makes it the preferred choice for many Irish construction businesses. If you're currently on Collsoft and it's working, there's no compelling reason to switch.
