THE DECISIONS THAT MATTER
Talk tax before you commit.
The right conversation starts with what you want to do. We bring the tax implications into that decision while there is still time to consider your options.
Exit and succession planning
Thinking about selling, stepping back or passing the business on? We review the tax questions around ownership, structure and timing before a transaction is agreed.
Group structures and intercompany transactions
Holding companies, reorganisations and transactions between related companies need a joined-up view. We identify the tax and transfer-pricing work required, then agree the scope and specialist input.
Taking money out and planning pensions
Salary, dividends, director loans and pension contributions belong in the same conversation. We look at the company’s position and your personal tax objectives before recommending a route.
International teams and directors
Hiring overseas or a director moving country can raise payroll, residency and permanent establishment questions. We assess the Irish implications and agree the work needed in each jurisdiction.
Irish tax registration and cross-border VAT
Setting up in Ireland or selling into new markets? We help with Irish tax registrations and VAT obligations, including cross-border sales. Explore ecommerce accounting.
Moving into a company
Before incorporating a sole trade or partnership, we compare the proposed structure with the existing one, including the transfer of the business and relevant reliefs.
Investment, R&D and business assets
We assess relevant tax questions around investment, EIIS, R&D claims and acquiring business assets. Eligibility, evidence and specialist project work are considered before a claim or commitment. Support for technology businesses.
Revenue queries and getting back on track
A Revenue query, overdue filing or inherited error needs clear ownership. We review the records, agree the response or correction work and help restore a dependable filing process.
Clear scope before the work starts. Complex planning, restructuring and cross-border projects are scoped separately from recurring compliance. We agree responsibilities, fees and any specialist involvement in advance.
The routine tax work stays under control.
Returns, registrations and payment dates stay connected to the records used to run your business. We agree what is included and who owns each task.
Corporation tax
Annual returns, preliminary tax and payment planning kept connected to the company’s current numbers.
Irish registrations and VAT
Irish tax registrations, VAT returns, EU sales reporting and annual VAT filings, with the relevant obligations agreed for your business.
Directors and owners
Personal tax returns, payroll interactions and director obligations considered alongside the company’s position.
Corrections and Revenue queries
Catch-up filings, amended returns and responses to Revenue, with the additional work and responsibilities agreed upfront.
Compliance is the baseline. Planning is the value.
Every client gets a quarterly check-in. We look at upcoming tax payments and decisions with your current numbers in front of us, giving you time to plan.
01 · Keep the records ready
Clean bookkeeping and reconciliations give us dependable information for your tax position.
02 · See liabilities forming
We flag what is building up and when it is likely to fall due, giving you time to prepare.
03 · Plan before acting
Tell us about a planned decision early. We identify the tax questions and agree the advice needed before you commit.
Tax should not sit in a separate box.
Your bookkeeping, management accounts, cash flow and tax position are connected. Our outsourced accounting service brings them together: one finance team and one set of numbers.
TAX SUPPORT, EXPLAINED
Questions before we start.
Your agreed recurring scope covers the ongoing work. Every client has a quarterly review to discuss upcoming payments and decisions. Detailed planning, restructuring and other substantial projects are scoped and priced separately.
We consider the tax implications of salary, dividends, director loans and pension contributions alongside the company’s finances. Pension product selection or regulated investment advice involves the appropriate adviser.
