Hi all,

I’m currently navigating the tax system in Ireland and could really use some clarification. I’m self-employed and wondering about the process for filing taxes here. Specifically, I’m unsure about:

The deadlines for self-assessment and any penalties for missing them.
The types of deductions or expenses that I can claim as a self-employed individual.
Whether I need to register for VAT if my earnings are below a certain threshold.

Has anyone here gone through the self-assessment process in Ireland or have experience with the tax laws for small businesses? Any advice or resources would be hugely helpful.

Thanks so much!

If you're self-employed, I would get yourself an a accountant.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

None of us here are tax experts; if your tax affairs are complicated (and it sounds like they are), my advice is to always speak to a tax consultant. In the meantime, a few links you may find useful:

Irish Tax & Customs.
Irish Government Citizens Information.
Expat Tax adviser (from Google, so always beware).

I hope this helps.
