Corporation Tax and the Revenue Compliance Calendar: What You Need to Know
RizFin plays a vital role in ensuring that your financial records are in order for Corporation Tax filings. However, strategic tax advice and planning are generally handled by an accountant.
What We Do:
-
Preparation of Financial Records: We ensure that your financial records are accurate and up-to-date for Corporation Tax filings.
-
Data Gathering & Support: We prepare all necessary documentation for your Corporation Tax return.
-
Coordination: We work closely with your accountant to ensure they have everything needed to submit the Corporation Tax return to Revenue.
Do You Need an Accountant for Corporation Tax?
Yes, although RizFin handles the preparation and data gathering, your accountant will typically file the Corporation Tax return and provide any strategic tax advice. For more details, visit Revenue’s Corporation Tax Information page.
Preliminary Tax – Key Information for Your Revenue Compliance Calendar
Preliminary tax can feel like paying twice, but it’s really Revenue keeping you ahead. Here’s how it works—and how to avoid surprises.
What Is Preliminary Tax?
Preliminary tax is an advance payment of your income tax for the current year, paid before the year even ends.
If you’re:
-
A sole trader.
-
A company director with untaxed income.
-
Or have rental income.
…you’ll likely need to pay preliminary tax annually. For more on how to calculate this, check out the Revenue Preliminary Tax Guide.
