Business Registration

If you operate a business which requires the payment of taxex in Ireland you must register with the Revenue Irish Tax & Customs. Begin the registration process at least four weeks prior to the date you start your business. In some occasion when you think the business is on research basis a registration is not required until income begins. The business tax application contains information for registering different business taxes administered by the Revenue.

Businesses can register for most taxes through Revenue Online Services. Companies Registration Office provides online registration with for corporations to do business in Ireland. Another business registration option, specific to the Revenue are the paper forms. Please see resources tab for the relevant forms.

If your business involves liquor or alcohol/tobacco products you will also need to be licensed. You will need more documentation to fulfill the requirements for obtaining the appropriate license.

You will also need to notify the Revenue if your business is closed or sold. Also if you have any filing period in which there is no business activity to report you still need to file a return for that period.
