Why Register for VAT in Ireland?

If your business trades in Ireland, VAT registration is a legal requirement under Irish and EU law. This applies to:

  • E-commerce sellers shipping to Irish customers

  • Non-EU companies selling goods or services into Ireland

  • Businesses storing inventory in Irish warehouses or using local fulfillment centers

  • Digital service providers (apps, SaaS, streaming) targeting Irish users

  • B2B and B2C service providers with taxable activity in Ireland

Our VAT Services

VAT Registration

  • Safari Star manages the full VAT registration process in Ireland. We prepare and submit your application (form TR2) to the Irish Revenue Commissioners, ensuring you receive a VAT number (format: IE + 7 digits + letter(s)) quickly and without needing a local entity.

VAT Returns & EC Sales Lists

  • Once registered, you’ll file VAT returns, typically every two months, though frequency may vary based on turnover. If you sell to VAT-registered customers in the EU, Safari Star also prepares your EC Sales Lists (VIES), due by the 23rd of the following month.

Fiscal Representation

  • Ireland does not require a fiscal representative for non-EU businesses registering for VAT. Safari Star ensures all requirements are met directly, with no intermediaries required.

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

  • Irish VAT rules evolve frequently. Safari Star stays proactive, monitoring rate changes, reverse-charge updates, OSS obligations, and more, to keep your VAT setup fully compliant at all times. 

Document Management & Audit Support

  • We help you maintain comprehensive VAT records, including invoices, ledgers, and EC Sales Lists, retained digitally or in Ireland for the required six-year period. Our team provides full audit support and ensures that your records are always revenue-ready.

Simplifying VAT Registration, Filing, and Compliance for Businesses Operating in Ireland

1

Business Consultation & Structuring

Safari Star offers tailored consultation to align your business model with Irish VAT regulations. Whether you operate in e-commerce, digital services, or B2B trade, we assess your obligations and manage the full registration process. Once approved, you’ll receive an Irish VAT number (IE + 7 digits + 1 or 2 letters), required for invoicing, filing returns, and maintaining compliance across the EU.

Import VAT Reverse Charge

Ireland permits postponed accounting for import VAT, allowing VAT to be reported in your return rather than paid upfront at customs. To use this scheme, you must be VAT registered and correctly indicate postponed VAT on your return. Safari Star ensures your setup is compliant and optimized, improving your cash flow and simplifying import procedures.
