Ireland is the main English-speaking country in the EU and is often chosen as an EU base by UK businesses. Irish Revenue checks new registrations closely and usually asks for evidence of genuine trading activity, so a well-prepared application makes a real difference to how quickly you get your number.
When do you need to register in Ireland?
- Foreign sellers storing goods in Ireland must register before their first sale.
