Tax and books for Irish freelancers

FinnAccountings matches invoices to bank receipts, estimates income tax and USC, and reminds you of filing milestones.

Freelancer VAT Ireland — the €42,500 services threshold

Freelancer VAT in Ireland is usually a services-threshold question. Rolling twelve-month turnover above €42,500 means you must register; many designers, developers, and consultants cross that around €3,500 a month without noticing. B2B freelancers often elect earlier so clients can reclaim VAT while you recover it on software, equipment, and professional fees.

This page is freelancer bookkeeping and tax prep. For how to get a VAT number, use the VAT registration Ireland guide; for VAT 3 / ROS drafts after you are registered, use VAT return services Ireland.
