In Ireland you must register for tax with Revenue when you start a new company or partnership.

As your Irish Tax Agent we will correspond with the Irish Revenue on your behalf with regards to Corporation Tax and VAT filings.

Irish Tax Agent fees

  • Suppliers or Customers in Ireland

  • Rental of premises
  • Storage or manufacture of goods in Ireland
  • Employment of Irish staff
  • Appointment of an Irish Tax Agent

Voluntary VAT Registration

If you do not have an Ireland business establishment and are not resident here or in the case of a company incorporated here, you are a non-established taxable person but, you must still register for VAT in Ireland if you have taxable supplies in Ireland.

You may be entitled to register for VAT in Ireland voluntarily and claim back any input tax you have paid here if you have no Ireland business establishment but make taxable supplies here.

Each company must meet certain requirements, such as:

  • Having its own physical premises in Ireland, with human and technical resources.
  • Having either an employee or director living in the country to show that there are individuals looking after the daily running of the business.

We can request a certified and signed ROS Certificate of Ireland Residency which is Apostilled at the Consular Section, Department of Foreign Affairs.
