Overview

Relevant Contracts Tax applies to principal contractors and subcontractors in construction, forestry and meat-processing activities.

Businesses entering the regime need the correct Revenue registration and role classification. Coutts Consultants coordinates irish relevant contracts tax (rct) registration as a defined Irish professional service.

The engagement begins with the client's objective and a service-specific review of principal/subcontractor status, qualifying operations, contracts, tax registration, ROS access and RCT obligations. We then establish the appropriate route, assemble the required information and coordinate the filing, application or professional work with the relevant Irish authority, institution or specialist. Where Irish law reserves the work to a solicitor, tax adviser, auditor, immigration practitioner or other regulated professional, that work is undertaken by an appropriately qualified provider.

Registrations, licences, permits, banking and regulatory approvals remain subject to the decision of the relevant authority or institution.
