Comprehensive support to help your company stay compliant, audit-ready, and internationally trusted.
Operating a business in Ireland — especially one with cross-border operations — comes with a broad set of regulatory obligations. From FATCA and CRS reporting to beneficial ownership disclosure and timely filings to Irish authorities, failure to comply can result in financial penalties, reputational damage, or even business disruption.
FATCA / CRS Reporting — Global Transparency, Done Right
If your Irish company engages in international transactions, receives funds from foreign investors, or holds non-resident accounts, you may be subject to FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard) obligations.
These frameworks require detailed reporting to the Irish Revenue, aligned with international tax transparency standards. At Chern & Co, we offer full support:
Determining your company’s FATCA/CRS classification (e.g., Active/Passive NFFE, Financial Institution)
Registration with the Revenue Online Service (ROS) and relevant international portals
Appointing a Responsible Officer (RO) and guiding their responsibilities
Preparing and submitting annual reports in XML format
Whether you run a holding structure, fund, IP company or operating business with global clients, our compliance team ensures your obligations are met with zero guesswork.
We support our clients with
UBO determination, including complex shareholding or nominee arrangements
Internal register creation (mandatory for all Irish companies)
Preparation and filing of RBO submissions
Updates when ownership, control, or directorship changes occur
Transparency builds trust — with regulators, banks, and stakeholders. We make UBO compliance simple, secure, and future-proof.
Filing to Registers and Authorities — Stay on Track with Zero Stress
Filing obligations in Ireland extend beyond the tax return. Companies must ensure timely and accurate submissions across multiple state bodies:
Our compliance team manages:
Companies Registration Office (CRO)
- Annual Returns (Form B1)
- Director or shareholder changes (B10, B73, etc.)
- Share allotments and capital updates
Revenue Commissioners (ROS platform)
- Corporation Tax (CT1), VAT returns (VAT3), PAYE filings
- FATCA/CRS annual reports
- RCT (Relevant Contracts Tax) where applicable
Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO)
Initial filing and updates of beneficial ownership data
Missing a deadline can lead to late filing fees, audit flags, or company reputation issues. With Chern & Co, your entire compliance calendar is monitored, automated, and managed.
