What's Next

We will email you an agent link document to collect your signature to initiate Revenue registration.
Once approved, you'll receive a Revenue Registration Number, which may be requested when opening a business bank account.
Tax Implications
You'll also have annual tax filing obligations.
Sole traders must register with Revenue for Income Tax purposes.
The deadline for these returns is 31 October each year.
As your business grows, you may also need VAT registration if your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold or if you want to reclaim VAT on business expenses.
If you hire employees, you'll also need to register for PAYE.
