Our Tax Consulting Services in Dublin
Personal Tax Returns Form 11 and Form 12: If you are self-employed, a director, or a PAYE worker with additional income, you are required to file a self-assessed tax return with Revenue. We prepare your return accurately, ensure every allowable deduction is claimed, and submit on time avoiding late filing surcharges of 5% or 10% of your tax liability.
Corporation Tax CT1 Filing and Tax Planning: Ireland’s 12.5% corporation tax rate is one of the most competitive in Europe, but getting your CT1 right and claiming everything you are entitled to requires knowledge and care. We prepare your corporation tax return, calculate your Preliminary Tax correctly, and look for legitimate ways to reduce your company’s tax bill each year.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Planning: Selling a business, investment property, shares, or other assets triggers a Capital Gains Tax liability in Ireland at 33%. The difference between good advice and no advice on a CGT event can be significant. We help you plan disposals correctly, apply available reliefs including retirement relief, entrepreneur relief, and annual CGT exemption and file your CGT return on time.
Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) and Inheritance Tax: Gifts and inheritances above certain thresholds are taxable in Ireland at 33% under CAT rules. We advise on the most tax-efficient ways to pass on assets, make use of Group A, B, and C thresholds, and plan for future transfers before tax events arise rather than after.
VAT Registration, Returns, and Advisory: From registering for VAT to filing bi-monthly returns and dealing with VAT on property transactions, import VAT, and cross-border VAT issues we handle it. We also advise on whether your business is better off registering voluntarily versus waiting for the registration threshold.
Income Tax Advice and Tax Planning: Good tax planning is not just about filing returns it is about making decisions throughout the year that reduce what you owe. We advise on pension contributions, salary versus dividend structuring for company directors, business expenses, capital allowances, and other reliefs that are entirely legal and often overlooked.
Rental Income Tax: Rental income is taxable in Ireland, and the rules around what you can deduct have changed significantly in recent years. We prepare rental accounts for landlords whether you own one property or a portfolio ensuring you claim the correct deductions for mortgage interest, repairs, insurance, management fees, and professional fees, and file your return accurately.
Revenue Audits and Investigations: Receiving a Revenue audit notification is stressful. We represent clients in all types of Revenue compliance interventions from aspect queries to full audits reviewing records, preparing responses, and working to achieve the best possible outcome. Having a qualified tax consultant in your corner from day one makes a real difference.
PAYE Compliance and Employer Tax: For businesses with employees, PAYE, PRSI, and USC must be deducted and remitted correctly under Revenue’s PAYE Modernisation rules. We handle Employer Record Returns (ERRs), P30 filings, Benefits-in-Kind, and year-end payroll compliance.
R&D Tax Credits: Ireland’s R&D tax credit provides a 30% credit on qualifying research and development expenditure — one of the most generous regimes in the EU. Many Irish businesses are carrying out qualifying activities without claiming. We identify eligible activities, prepare the claim, and submit it to Revenue.
EIIS Relief and Investment Tax Incentives: The Employment Investment Incentive Scheme (EIIS) allows investors to claim income tax relief on qualifying investments in Irish SMEs. We advise both investors and qualifying companies on how to structure EIIS investments correctly.
Stamp Duty Planning: Stamp duty applies to property purchases, share transfers, and certain business transactions in Ireland. The applicable rates and reliefs depend on the specific transaction. We advise on stamp duty exposure before you complete a deal, not after.
Relocating to or from Ireland: Moving to Ireland, leaving Ireland, or managing affairs across multiple jurisdictions creates complex tax questions around residency, domicile, foreign income, and exit taxes. We advise individuals and families on their Irish tax position before and after a move, ensuring nothing is missed.

Missing a tax deadline with Revenue costs money. Here are the key dates every individual and business in Ireland needs to track.
- Income Tax Form 11: 31 October each year (extended for ROS filers to mid-November). A late return results in a 5% surcharge on your tax liability (up to €12,695), rising to 10% if the return is more than two months late.
- Corporation Tax CT1: Nine months after your financial year-end. Preliminary Tax is due 31 days before year-end for most companies, with an initial payment six months in for large companies.
- Capital Gains Tax: 15 December for disposals made between 1 January and 30 November; 31 January of the following year for December disposals.
- VAT Returns: Due by the 19th of the month following each bi-monthly VAT period (January/February return is due 19 March, and so on).
- PAYE/Employer Returns: Monthly, under Revenue’s real-time PAYE Modernisation rules.
- CAT Returns (IT38): 31 October following the year of the gift or inheritance.
We track all of these for every client we work with. You will never miss a deadline because something slipped.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tax consultant in Dublin do?
A tax consultant advises individuals and businesses on their Irish tax obligations, helps them plan to reduce their tax liability legally, prepares and files returns with Revenue, and represents clients in Revenue audits and compliance checks. The scope of work ranges from a simple income tax return to complex corporate restructuring.
Who needs a personal tax advisor in Dublin?
Anyone with income outside of PAYE employment rental income, self-employment income, share options, foreign income, director’s income benefits from a personal tax advisor. PAYE workers who have not reviewed their tax position in several years often find they are owed refunds.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and an accountant?
In practice, the terms overlap significantly. An accountant may focus more on bookkeeping and financial statements; a tax advisor focuses specifically on tax planning, compliance, and Revenue dealings. TAS Consulting provides both, so you get a fully integrated service.
Can a tax consultant in Dublin help with a Revenue audit?
Yes, and this is one of the most valuable things a tax consultant does. We review your records before Revenue does, identify any issues proactively, prepare your response to Revenue, and represent you throughout the process. Starting with professional representation from the moment an audit notification arrives consistently produces better outcomes.
How much does a tax consultant in Dublin charge?
Fees vary depending on the complexity of your tax affairs and the services required. We offer fixed-fee packages for standard returns and hourly rates for more complex advisory work. We always confirm fees before we start — you will never receive a surprise invoice.
