Ireland VAT Registration

We can register your company for VAT, Corporation Tax and PAYE/PRSI. There is a joint registration for all taxes, but the application for VAT requires a certain presence in Ireland, such as a trading address and a bank account. A simple registered office address will not suffice.

VAT is a tax on consumer spending, it is collected by VAT-registered traders on their goods and services effected within the State for consideration to their customers.  

Once we have incorporated your Irish company, we can apply for a VAT number on your behalf. The Irish Revenue will issue a VAT registration number to a person/company on being satisfied that the person/company is carrying on a taxable business in the State. 

Registering for VAT in Ireland

While Irish businesses are obliged to register for VAT once they reach sales of at least €37,500 for services and €75,000 for goods,  these sales must be to Irish based customers.

Turnover threshold for VAT registration

A company established in Ireland is not required to register for VAT if his turnover does not reach the appropriate threshold however, they may opt to register for VAT.

They are as follows:

• €37,500 -  in the case of persons supplying services
• €37,500 - for persons supplying goods liable at the reduced rates which they have manufactured from zero rated materials
• €37,500  - for persons making mail-order or distance sales into Ireland
• €41,000 -  for persons making intra-Community acquisitions
• €75,000 -  for persons supplying goods
• €75,000 -  for persons supplying both goods and services where 90% or more of the turnover is derived from supplies of goods

Procedure for VAT Registration

Once we have incorporated your Irish company and you have a bank account in the company name, to register your company for VAT we complete your TR2 registration form and submit to the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

The Revenue Commissioners will then issue a VAT registration number for your company.
