Corporation Tax Registration with Revenue

Overview

Most limited companies in Ireland are legally required to register for Corporation Tax (CT) with The Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revenue) within 4 weeks from the date of first income. If no income has yet been received, then the period for registration is within 12 months from the incorporation date.

CT Registration is a necessary minimum and of highest priority when setting up as it entails attribution of a Tax Registration Number (TRN) for your company, while Registration for Employers Tax (PAYE), Relevant Contract Tax (RCT), Value Added Tax (VAT) is rather secondary and based on CT Registration.

If your company is not represented by a tax agent, you must submit a Form TR2 for Irish resident companies or Form TR2 (FT) for foreign companies your own.
