Does this apply to you?
Do you need to register in Ireland?
As soon as one of these situations applies to you, a local VAT number becomes mandatory — often even without a physical presence on site.
-
You store goods on site
Warehouse, logistics provider (3PL) or Amazon FBA stock in Ireland: registration is due from the moment you hold stock, even before your first sale.
-
Your distance sales exceed €10,000
Above the European threshold of €10,000 in B2C distance sales, if you have not opted for the OSS one-stop shop.
-
You import goods
You bring goods into Ireland to resell, store or process them.
-
You carry out intra-Community transactions
Acquisitions or supplies of goods from or to Ireland as part of intra-EU trade.
-
You sell to private individuals on site
Direct sales to private customers located in Ireland, where no reverse-charge mechanism applies.
-
You provide locally-supplied services
Services connected to immovable property, or a service linked to a trade fair or event held on site.
A single situation is enough — we register you in Ireland, and across Europe.
Good to know: the OSS one-stop shop only covers B2C distance sales. As soon as you hold stock on site, a local VAT number remains mandatory — even with OSS enabled.
Agent or fiscal representative?
Do you need a fiscal representative?
It all depends on where your company is established. Either way, Eurofiscalis handles all of your obligations in Ireland from start to finish.
Representative not required
Good news: in most cases, an EU company does not need a fiscal representative in Ireland. But your VAT obligations remain — registration, invoicing, returns.
- We act as your tax agent: registration, returns and deadlines handled from A to Z.
- You stay in control of your file, with no joint liability.
- A single English-speaking contact for all your compliance in Ireland.
Fiscal representative required
A non-EU company generally has to appoint a locally-established fiscal representative, often jointly liable for the VAT debt.
- Eurofiscalis takes on this official role and manages all your returns.
- We answer for your compliance before the tax authorities.
- You run your business, we carry the fiscal liability.
Either way, we take care of 100% of your VAT obligations in Ireland — registration, returns, recapitulative statements and deadlines. You stay focused on your business.
Exceptions exist depending on agreements between states: we confirm your exact situation, with no commitment.Our services
