How do I get a VAT number for my Ireland company? Ireland? What is the VAT rate? What is the VAT filing cycle?

If you need to register an Ireland company for a VAT number, you will need to prove that your company has an annual turnover of more than €37,500 if you are a service company. If you are a trading company or a sales type company you will need to show that your annual turnover exceeds €75,000. In addition to this, the company will need to have an Irish resident as a director or employee and you will need to prove that the company has a physical presence in Ireland. The rate of VAT in Ireland is 23% and the filing cycle is generally bi-monthly, however, if your company has an annual VAT liability of between €3,001 and €14,400, you can apply to the Irish Revenue to file a return every four months. If your annual tax liability is €3,000 or less, you can file every six months.

Do directors and shareholders of an Irish company need a personal identity number (PPSN / IPN / RBO)?

Yes. Since 11 June 2023, all directors and shareholders of an Irish company must hold a personal identity number for CRO filings: an Irish PPSN, or an Identified Person Number (IPN) / RBO number. Anyone without an existing PPSN or RBO number must apply for an IPN; the application form must be sworn before a notary in the officer's home country, and the resulting number must be used for all future CRO filings. To incorporate, each prospective shareholder and director must provide one of these identifiers, which is also used for beneficial-ownership filing. An IPN application is not required where all directors and shareholders are already Irish.

Why might an Irish company's VAT or Corporation Tax registration be rejected, and in what order should tax numbers be obtained?

An Irish VAT/Corporation Tax (CIT) registration can be rejected if the directors do not have a PPSN. The directors must first obtain a PPSN; without it the company's CIT number cannot be applied for, so the PPSN application should be started early. A dormant company does not need a CIT number for now, and VAT registration is only required once turnover reaches the Irish VAT thresholds; below the threshold a company can defer VAT registration.

If the login credentials to an Irish company's ROS (Revenue Online Service) account are lost, can they be recovered and how long does it take?

Yes. If nobody has the company's existing ROS account / electronic-signature login, Revenue can reset it. The reset typically takes around two weeks, which extends the timeline for any filings (e.g. CT1, dissolution) that depend on ROS access.
