Individuals must navigate the entire tax code. Capital Gains Tax applies to profits on the disposal of Capital Assets. Capital Acquisitions Tax is levied on all gifts and inheritances received in a tax year. Stamp Duties are payable on certain transactions. Sole traders must ensure their Local Property Tax payments are up to date or else incur a surcharge penalty on their Income Tax filings.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

VAT is a tax levied on the value added to products as they move through the economic supply chain and is levied on all trading companies and individuals alike. A VAT registered trader must account for output vat on the sales of vatable items and can claim an input credit on any vat incurred during a vat period. It is vital that every business applies the correct vat rate to the activity it carries on. To confirm the vat rate applying to your sales go to VAT Rates

VAT is one of the most complex tax areas and requires ongoing attention in order to manage the working capital cycle of the business. TOC provides a comprehensive VAT service to clients from advising on the correct rates of vat to apply, trading across borders within and outside the EU, trading in electronic services, claiming tax credits, and designing bookkeeping systems to ensure the business captures all the necessary details to ensure compliance with the VAT code.

Our VAT services include:

• VAT registration – registration is compulsory if turnover exceeds €37,500 pa for services and €75,000 pa for goods or EU Intra community acquisitions of €41,000 pa. The VAT registration threshold for foreign traders supplying taxable goods or services in Ireland is zero.
  Output VAT may be accounted for on a cash receipts basis rather than an invoice basis where turnover does not exceed €2,000,000 or at least 90% of sales are to non vat registered customers.
• VAT compliance and dealing effectively and efficiently with tax authorities.
• Advice on the VAT treatment of specific business transactions

TOC provide a Vat Return preparation and filing Service tailored to Bi-Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Return requirements.
