Tax compliance in Ireland

Tax compliance is the recurring work that keeps a company in good standing with Revenue: registering for the right taxes, filing returns on time and answering queries. Revenue explains that Irish resident companies pay Corporation Tax on their worldwide profits, and returns are filed through its online service, ROS. A company run from abroad still needs someone who can use that service and meet the deadlines.

When you read a profile, look for the tax work it names: Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll taxes, personal tax for directors, and any service for non-resident landlords. Ask whether the firm acts as your company’s agent with Revenue, who signs off the returns, and how it handles a tax question that crosses into your home country. Declared memberships, such as Chartered Accountants Ireland or the Irish Taxation Institute, are shown on the profile when a firm states them.

This is the most widely offered service on Accountanty: 144 firms list tax compliance, made up of 134 accounting firms, 9 corporate services providers and one law firm. Of these, 124 are small practices, 11 are large networks and 9 are medium. Seventy say they work with foreign clients. For context on setting up first, see the Ireland guide and the company formation page.

Frequently asked questions

Which taxes will an Irish company have to deal with?

It depends on what the company does. A trading company normally deals with Corporation Tax, and many also register for VAT and as an employer. A firm can tell you which registrations apply once it knows your activity, your staff and where your customers are.

Can a firm file Irish tax returns for me?

Yes. A tax agent can file through Revenue's online service on the company's behalf once authorised. Ask the firm to confirm in writing which returns it prepares, who reviews them, and how it will tell you about deadlines.

What if I also owe tax in my home country?

An Irish firm covers Irish obligations. Ask whether it works with advisers in your country or can speak to yours. Cross-border questions often need two specialists, so agree early who coordinates them.
