Protecting your company’s compliance so you can focus on running your business.

Why Company Secretarial Compliance Matters More Than Ever
Ireland’s corporate governance landscape has become significantly more demanding since the introduction of the Companies Act 2014 and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation 2016. The CRO actively monitors compliance, and enforcement is accelerating. A single missed annual return Ireland deadline costs your company its audit exemption for two years a disproportionate penalty for what is often a simple administrative oversight.
For business owners, directors, and finance teams already stretched thin, maintaining full CRO compliance without dedicated support is a risk that simply is not worth taking. That is where TAS Consulting comes in.

Who We Work With
TAS Consulting provides outsourced company secretarial services to a wide range of Irish businesses, including startups and early-stage companies managing their first CRO obligations, established SMEs that have outgrown DIY compliance, non-resident founders and international businesses with Irish entities, accountancy and legal firms seeking a specialist secretarial partner, and companies managing group structures with multiple Irish entities.
What Happens If You Miss Your Annual Return Deadline?
This is the question no director wants to face but many do. Missing your Annual Return Date (ARD) triggers an immediate late filing penalty of €100, plus €3 per day for every day the return remains outstanding. More significantly, your company automatically loses its audit exemption for two years, meaning you will be required to have full statutory accounts prepared and audited regardless of your company size.
If more than 56 days pass beyond your ARD without a filing, the CRO may begin involuntary strike-off proceedings.
If you have already missed your deadline, act immediately the longer you wait, the higher the penalties and the greater the risk. Contact TAS Consulting today and we will assess your situation and get your company back into compliance as quickly as possible.
