Congratulations on registering your new company! That’s a huge milestone… but it’s just the beginning.
So, what happens after CRO registration? Let me break it down for you in some quick steps.
You’ll receive a Revenue registration form by email. One of the directors needs to sign and return it. This kicks off your tax setup — Corporation Tax, Employer Tax, and, if you’ve requested, VAT too.
Beneficial Ownership registration. Don’t worry, this is mandatory for every company in Ireland. It simply records the real people behind the company in the Central Register.
You’ll then get your key company documents consolidated: your Certificate of Incorporation, the signed Constitution, Company Report, and RBO confirmation. Keep these safe — you’ll need them for things like opening a bank account.
Once Revenue registration is complete, you’ll get a confirmation for Corporation Tax and Employer Tax. VAT, if requested, is processed separately.
And here’s the big one: ongoing compliance. Your first Annual Return Date is just six months after incorporation. You don’t need accounts for the first one, but if you miss deadlines, you could face penalties — and even lose audit exemption for two years. So, staying compliant is key!
The good news?
You don’t have to do this alone. Our team at TASC will guide you every step of the way — from payroll and tax filings to ongoing compliance.
