Start Your Tax Return Process

Making Tax Simple For You

Sorting your personal tax return doesn’t have to be stressful and with the right support, it isn’t.

Our experienced tax team works with different types of clients from contractors and freelancers to sole traders, small business owners, and anyone earning ad-hoc income, so we specialise in and understand the unique challenges self-employed people face.

We’ll get you set up from the start with registration support (if needed) and then a one-to-one call with a tax adviser who’ll tailor your tax return to your specific situation, and any additional tax areas you may need help with.

Along the way, you’ll get clear advice on what tax reliefs and credits you’re entitled to and what business expenses you should be claiming, so that you’re paying only what you owe in taxes – keeping you complaint and confident always.

Understanding Your Self-Employed Tax Obligations In Ireland

As a self-employed professional in Ireland, your tax responsibilities can vary depending on how you work but here’s what you generally need to know:

  • You’ll need to declare all sources of income to Revenue and claim any eligible expenses by filing an annual tax return.
  • The deadline for filing your annual return is the 31th of October after the end of the tax year (31th of December)
  • You’ll need to pay preliminary tax towards the current year, and any balance owed for the previous year by the October 31st deadline.
  • You need to stay VAT (Value Added Tax) compliant. As of 2025, if your turnover exceeds €42,500 (services) or €85,000 (goods), you’ll need to register for VAT. For more information on VAT thresholds visit revenue.ie
  • You may also need to consider other tax areas like Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Local Property Tax (LPT), or tax on rental income depending on your situation.
  • Keeping your records in order is key, hold on to receipts and documentation for all business-related expenses.
