Filing calendars, registration thresholds and the official tax authority.
AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
Tax is administered by Revenue, which also acts as the customs authority — a single body rather than the separate tax and customs agencies many countries run. A company registers for corporation tax and, above the registration thresholds, for VAT. Payroll is reported in real time: an employer files a payroll submission to Revenue on or before each pay date rather than in a periodic return.
