Irish VAT Registration and Compliance Services
Understanding whether and when a business must register for VAT can be complex, particularly for international companies trading in Ireland or conducting cross-border transactions.
City Trust provides VAT registration and compliance services for Irish businesses, international companies and professional intermediaries. We help clients assess their Irish VAT obligations, complete the registration process and manage ongoing VAT reporting requirements.
Our team provides practical support tailored to your business activities, helping you meet your obligations while reducing the administrative burden on directors and management teams.

Ongoing VAT Compliance Support
VAT compliance continues long after a business has registered. Transactions must be recorded correctly, supporting documentation retained and periodic returns prepared using accurate financial information.
City Trust can provide ongoing VAT compliance as part of a wider outsourced accounting service. By connecting bookkeeping, financial reporting and VAT preparation, we help clients maintain consistent records and identify potential issues at an early stage.
For international businesses, we work with legal, tax and accounting advisers to support Irish VAT requirements within the organisation’s wider operating structure.
