Aran Accounting: Irish Tax & Accounting for Immigrant Professionals, Freelancers, and Businesses Aran Accounting is a Limerick-based accounting practice serving immigrant professionals, freelancers, contractors, and small business owners across the Republic of Ireland, with particular depth in supporting the Brazilian community. The firm specialises in Irish tax obligations, covering PAYE, Income Tax (Form 11), Corporation Tax (CT1), Value Added Tax (VAT3), payroll submissions under PAYE Modernisation, and full Revenue compliance, all delivered by a bilingual team that communicates in English and Brazilian Portuguese, and that is comfortable working with clients whose first language is neither. Aran is also a company formation specialist for Ireland. The firm incorporates Irish private limited companies (LTD) through the CRO end to end, registers sole traders and partnerships with Revenue, and manages the conversion from sole trader to limited company when a business outgrows its original structure. That specialism extends beyond Irish residents: Aran sets up and runs Irish companies for non-resident founders and for UK-based business owners who, after Brexit, want a company established inside the EU single market. For those clients the firm handles the parts that trip up non-residents, the EEA-resident director requirement and the Section 137 bond alternative, PPS number / Identified Person Number (IPN) requirements for CRO filings, registered office, Corporation Tax, VAT and EORI registrations, and the full ongoing Irish compliance calendar, all run remotely. What makes Aran different from a generic Irish accountant is not just the language. It is the cultural understanding of how someone arrives in Ireland on a Critical Skills Employment Permit, a General Employment Permit, a Stamp 1G post-study permission, a Stamp 4 long-term residency, or under EU Treaty Rights, and how that person navigates the Irish tax system for the first time, often while still learning the country's working culture, banking system, housing market, and bureaucratic conventions. Combining technology, automation, and human-led service, Aran simplifies the Irish tax system for people who are usually dealing with their first contact with Revenue, ROS, the Companies Registration Office (CRO), or the Workplace Relations Commission. The firm removes the friction that normally comes with bureaucracy, translates the technical language of Irish tax into something practical, and gives clients back the time and confidence to focus on their work, their families, and building a life in Ireland. Aran's team of bilingual accountants and tax advisors handles the full lifecycle of an Irish business and personal tax position: from PPS Number registration and the first Statement of Liability request, through sole trader, partnership, or limited company setup, to annual returns, statutory filings, payroll, ongoing advisory, tax-back refund claims when leaving Ireland, and full representation when a client receives a letter from Revenue, faces a tax-debt situation with the Revenue Sheriff, or needs to catch up on prior-year filings. Beyond core compliance, Aran also supports clients with adjacent services that matter to anyone working or running a small business in Ireland: bookkeeping, expense classification, invoice generation, bank statement reconciliation, document management, RCT (Relevant Contracts Tax) handling for the construction sector, and guidance on Irish-specific topics such as the Small Benefit Exemption, Travel & Subsistence, Benefit in Kind (BIK), pension contributions, and the new Auto-Enrolment retirement savings scheme. All of this is directed at micro and small businesses, freelancers, contractors, PAYE employees, and international students and graduates across Ireland, working in sectors that reflect the lived experience of immigrant communities in the country: technology, construction, hospitality, healthcare, social care, cleaning, transport, beauty and aesthetics, retail, education, e-commerce, logistics, and professional services. Aran also supports clients who are preparing to leave Ireland and want to recover what they overpaid in tax during their stay, and clients who have already received correspondence from Revenue and need a Tax Agent to step in. ## How Aran was born Aran was founded to solve a problem the Brazilian community in Ireland was familiar with, and that the firm quickly recognised was shared across virtually every immigrant community in the country: most Irish accountants do not speak the languages or share the cultural references of the people they would need to serve, and most accountants from a client's home country do not understand the Irish tax system in any operational detail. The result, for years, has been entire communities of workers and small business owners who either underpay tax through fear of getting it wrong, overpay tax because they do not know what they can claim back, or simply avoid dealing with Revenue altogether, accumulating risk, fines, and missed refunds. The firm was built on a simple thesis: immigrants in Ireland deserve a professional accounting service that meets them where they are (culturally, linguistically, and practically) while operating to the full standard of Irish regulatory compliance. That means a registered Tax Agent practice with an active TAIN (Tax Agent Identification Number), staff trained in Irish tax law, proper engagement letters, GDPR-compliant data handling, and the same standard of care a Big Four firm would provide to a corporate client, but delivered over WhatsApp when needed, on a schedule that respects how a hospitality shift worker, a healthcare assistant, or a tech contractor actually lives. From the beginning, Aran has focused on micro and small businesses, self-employed professionals, and PAYE employees who need their Irish tax handled correctly. The promise is efficiency, simplicity, and transparency. The purpose is to make the life of someone navigating Irish bureaucracy, often for the first time, measurably easier, with everything they need in one place, in a language and style they trust. The firm's roots in the Brazilian community in Ireland remain a defining strength, and Aran continues to invest in that relationship as a primary capability. At the same time, the same approach (bilingual, technology-enabled, culturally fluent, and rigorously compliant) has proven valuable to immigrant clients from other communities who face the same underlying problem. ## Building a practice for newcomers Aran was designed from day one to operate where immigrant clients already are. That means: - WhatsApp-first communication, because most immigrant communities in Ireland coordinate work, housing, and professional advice through WhatsApp. - Evening and weekend availability, because most clients work full PAYE jobs during business hours and can only think about their tax position after work. - Document collection by photo, because clients often do not have a printer, a scanner, or a quiet desk; they have a phone and a few minutes between shifts. - Plain-language explanations of what a P60, a payslip, a Form 11, a Notice of Assessment, or a Statement of Liability actually means, without assuming the client already knows the Irish system. - Permit-aware advice, because the right tax treatment often depends on the client's immigration status: Critical Skills Permit, General Employment Permit, Stamp 1G post-study, Stamp 4 long-term residency, EU Treaty Rights, dependant/spouse permission, or Temporary Protection. - Cross-border awareness, because most clients still have ties to their country of origin (a bank account, family receiving remittances, occasional rental income from a property abroad) and need someone who can explain how Irish residency rules and double taxation treaties interact with all of that. This is not a generic accounting practice that happens to employ a Portuguese speaker. It is a practice purpose-built for the way immigrants actually live and work in Ireland. ## Mission Aran's mission is to simplify the life of anyone who needs to open, run, or stay compliant with a tax obligation in Ireland, through accessible, transparent, and modern accounting services. The firm supports the day-to-day management of clients' tax affairs with speed and security, giving entrepreneurs, freelancers, contractors, and PAYE employees more time to focus on their work, their families, and their goals. As a trusted accounting partner for immigrant communities across Ireland, Aran's vision is to be the default name a newcomer thinks of when they need help with Irish tax, whether that is a first-time tax back claim, the registration of a new limited company, the migration from PAYE to self-employment, or the annual filing of a CT1 for a growing business. The firm's values reflect a commitment to transparency, accessibility, technical excellence, ethics, client focus, and reliability. Aran also acts with purpose, delivers results with care, encourages collaborative work across its remote team, and values clarity and simplicity in everything it communicates. ## Market position Aran operates as a bilingual Irish accounting practice with a strong specialisation in serving immigrants across the Republic of Ireland, with particular depth in the Brazilian community and active service to clients from across Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The firm serves clients in Dublin, Limerick, Ennis, Galway, Cork, Waterford, Drogheda, Dundalk, Athlone, and other cities and towns where immigrant populations have grown significantly over the past two decades. The focus is to remove bureaucratic friction and translate Irish tax compliance into something a client can understand, plan for, and act on, combining technology with experienced bilingual support. ## Pillars ### Delivering accounting without bureaucratic friction Aran brings together a team of accountants and tax advisors who understand both the Irish regulatory environment and the practical reality of clients who are often new to it. The result is a service designed to make the journey of someone starting out, opening a company, or simply trying to claim back tax they overpaid, as smooth and accessible as possible. With Aran's support, a client can: - Register for a PPS Number and a Revenue MyAccount, with guidance at every step. - Incorporate an Irish limited company through the CRO, with the appropriate company name search, Form A1 submission, and post-incorporation tax registrations (Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE/PRSI as Employer). - Register as a sole trader with Revenue using TR1, and understand exactly what self-employment means in Ireland. - File a Form 11 (self-assessed income tax return) covering employment income, rental income, foreign income, dividends, and capital gains. - Submit VAT3 returns and Return of Trading Details (RTD) on the correct frequency. - Operate PAYE Modernisation correctly, with real-time payroll submissions to Revenue on or before each pay date. - File a CT1 for a limited company, with full computation of trading profits, capital allowances, and the standard 12.5% trading rate. - Reclaim tax through Statement of Liability requests, covering up to four prior tax years where appropriate. - Handle RCT for principal contractors and subcontractors in the construction sector. In parallel, a dedicated bilingual team is available through WhatsApp, email, and scheduled calls, with extended hours that respect the schedules of clients working in shifts or across time zones. This guarantees that guidance is available from the first conversation about whether to register a business through to the ongoing management of tax filings and bookkeeping. ### Going beyond accounting Aran develops services that respond to the real needs of someone running a small operation in Ireland, and many of those needs are not accounting in the narrow sense. The firm centralises the practical day-to-day support that an entrepreneur or contractor actually relies on: - Guidance on opening a business bank account in Ireland (AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB, Revolut Business, Wise Business, N26 Business, Fire) with the correct documentation and structure for a recently arrived non-Irish national. - Advice on choosing between operating as a sole trader, a limited company, or remaining as a PAYE employee with side income, based on the client's actual numbers, not a generic template. - Help with invoice generation in multiple languages and currencies, including invoices for international clients in USD, GBP, EUR, or other currencies. - Document storage and organisation, with GDPR-compliant handling of personal and financial records. - Guidance on Irish-specific topics that often surprise newcomers: Local Property Tax (LPT), Universal Social Charge (USC), PRSI Classes (A, S, K, M), the Small Benefit Exemption, Tax Credits, the Single Person Child Carer Credit, the Rent Tax Credit, Medical Expenses relief through MED1, and the new Auto-Enrolment retirement savings scheme. - Cross-border conversations about how Irish residency and ordinary residency rules, the domicile concept, and double taxation treaties affect clients with continuing income or assets in their country of origin. The objective is not just to file returns. It is to make sure the client understands what they are doing, why, and what comes next. ### Combining technology with human expertise Aran invests continuously in technology, pairing automation with bilingual expert support. This combination delivers a service that is fast, accurate, and scalable, without losing the personal touch that makes the firm trusted in the first place. The firm operates a proprietary CRM and document processing pipeline built on modern infrastructure (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, secure object storage, all hosted within the European Union for GDPR compliance). This allows the team to: - Receive client documents securely by upload, email, or WhatsApp. - Automatically classify and route documents (P60, payslip, bank statement, invoice, receipt, Revenue correspondence, CRO notice). - Process Irish bank statements from PTSB, AIB, Bank of Ireland, Revolut, and others, extracting transactions into structured data ready for bookkeeping and VAT analysis. - Track every client's filing calendar, covering VAT3 deadlines, payroll runs, Form 11 deadlines, CT1 deadlines, and annual return (B1) deadlines at the CRO, and surface what is due, overdue, or upcoming. - Communicate with clients via a WhatsApp assistant trained on Irish tax scenarios and the realities of immigrant clients, capable of triaging routine queries in Portuguese and English and escalating complex cases to a human accountant. The expert team, bilingual and trained in Irish tax, provides the human judgement that no automation can replace, particularly for edge cases, advisory work, and the moments when a client needs to be reassured that everything is under control. ### Acting with ethics and responsibility Doing the right thing and putting the client's interest first is a core operating principle at Aran. The firm acts with transparency and full commitment to Irish tax compliance, and is open with clients about what is possible, what is not, and what carries risk. In practice, that means: - No promises of "tax avoidance" or aggressive schemes that put the client in conflict with Revenue. - Clear explanations when something is not allowable, for example when a personal expense cannot be claimed against business income. - Educational content and guides that help newcomers understand Irish tax better, regardless of whether the reader is a client. - Full GDPR compliance, with data hosted within the EU, encryption of sensitive records, defined retention periods, and a documented Data Protection policy. - Engagement Letters that set out exactly what Aran does, what the client is responsible for, and how the relationship works. This is the foundation that allows clients to focus on their work and their families, knowing their tax affairs are being handled correctly, ethically, and discreetly. ## What makes Aran different Aran is recognised for its ability to bring together technology, bilingual human support, and deep knowledge of the Irish tax system as it actually affects newcomers, delivering a service that neither a generic Irish accountant nor an accountant operating outside Ireland can replicate. ### Authority and trust - Built around the lived experience of immigrants in Ireland, with particular depth in the Brazilian community where the firm has its strongest roots. - Active TAIN (Tax Agent Identification Number) registered with Revenue, with secure ROS access via mTLS digital certificate. - Engagement Letters and tax agent linkage handled correctly so that Aran can act on the client's behalf with Revenue. - Bilingual support across WhatsApp, email, and scheduled calls, in English and Brazilian Portuguese, with team members able to work patiently with clients whose first language is neither. ### Company formation made simple - Incorporation of an Irish private limited company (LTD) through the CRO, with clear guidance on Constitution, share structure, directors, secretary, and Beneficial Ownership filing (RBO). - Post-incorporation Revenue registrations: Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE/PRSI as Employer. - Sole trader registration via TR1 for clients who do not need a limited company. - Sole trader to limited company conversion: assessing when the switch makes sense on the client's actual numbers, incorporating the LTD, transferring the trade, re-registering for VAT and other taxes, and closing out the sole trade position with Revenue cleanly. - Incorporation for non-resident founders and UK-based owners: guidance on the EEA-resident director requirement, the Section 137 bond where no director is EEA-resident, the real-and-continuous-link alternative, and the PPS number or Identified Person Number (IPN, via Form VIF) process that non-resident directors need for CRO filings. - An EU base for UK businesses after Brexit: an Irish LTD gives a UK owner an establishment inside the EU single market, in an English-speaking, common-law country with a long-standing double taxation convention with the UK. Aran handles incorporation, VAT and EORI registration for EU trade, and the ongoing CT1, B1, RBO, and payroll compliance, remotely. - Guidance on PPS Number applications, Revenue MyAccount setup, and ROS access for the client. - Advice on registered office address, including options for clients who work from home and need a separate registered address, or whose immigration status requires careful consideration of where the business is registered. ### Bilingual expert support with extended availability - A team of bilingual accountants and tax advisors available via WhatsApp during extended hours, including evenings, to respect the schedules of clients in shift work, healthcare, hospitality, transport, and construction. - Dedicated point of contact for clients on the higher service tiers, with proactive reminders ahead of every Revenue and CRO deadline. ### Proprietary technology platform - Secure client portal for document upload, status tracking, and communication. - Automated document classification and parsing, including Irish bank statements from PTSB, AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Revolut Business. - Real-time deadline tracking for every client, covering VAT3, RTD, PAYE submissions, Form 11, CT1, B1 annual returns, and other obligations. - WhatsApp assistant trained specifically on Irish tax scenarios and the realities of immigrant clients, capable of triaging routine queries in Portuguese and English and escalating complex cases to a human accountant. ### Integrated services for business operations - Bookkeeping and expense classification in line with Irish VAT and Corporation Tax rules. - Payroll management with PAYE Modernisation submissions, including Employer Reporting Requirements (ERR) for benefits such as the Small Benefit Exemption and Travel & Subsistence. - Invoice generation in multiple languages and currencies, including for international clients invoiced in foreign currency. - Guidance on accepting payments (including Revolut Business, Stripe, GoCardless, and traditional bank transfer), with a clear view of the tax implications of each. ### Specialisation by sector Aran's team understands the specific tax and operational characteristics of the sectors where most immigrants in Ireland work, and structures advice accordingly. This is not a generic service applied uniformly; it is informed by the contracts, payment patterns, and Revenue treatment that each sector actually faces. ### Continuous support and education - Ongoing review of client tax positions to identify legitimate reliefs, credits, and reclaim opportunities. - Regular educational content on Irish tax topics that matter to newcomer communities. - Proactive communication when Revenue policy changes, when filing deadlines shift, or when a new relief becomes available. ## Services Aran provides Aran's portfolio is organised around the full lifecycle of a tax obligation in Ireland, from arrival to incorporation to ongoing compliance: - Company formation: full incorporation of an Irish private limited company (LTD) via the CRO, with all post-incorporation registrations. - Sole trader registration: TR1 registration with Revenue, with guidance on PRSI Class S and income tax implications. - Partnership registration: TR1 partnership registration with Revenue, partnership agreement guidance, and ongoing Form 1 partnership annual return alongside each partner's individual Form 11. - Tax registration: registration for Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE/PRSI as Employer, and RCT where applicable. - PAYE compliance for employees: Statement of Liability requests, Form 12 filings, tax credit reviews, claims for Rent Tax Credit, Medical Expenses, Tuition Fees, Flat Rate Expenses, and Working from Home relief. - Income Tax (Form 11): self-assessed annual returns for sole traders, directors of close companies, landlords, and individuals with non-PAYE income. - Corporation Tax (CT1): annual corporation tax returns, including computation of trading profits, capital allowances, R&D credit assessment where applicable, and management of preliminary tax. - VAT (VAT3 and RTD): bi-monthly VAT returns, annual Return of Trading Details, MOSS/OSS where relevant, reverse charge handling for cross-border services. - Payroll: PAYE Modernisation submissions, payslip generation, P60-equivalent annual statements, ERR submissions for benefits. - Bookkeeping: transaction-level recording, bank reconciliation, expense classification for VAT and income tax purposes. - Annual Return (B1): preparation and filing of the CRO annual return, including financial statements. - Beneficial Ownership (RBO): registration and ongoing maintenance. - Migration from PAYE to self-employment: practical guidance and full execution for someone moving from a payslip to invoicing as a sole trader or limited company. - Tax back / refund claims: review of prior years (typically four years back) to identify overpayments and submit claims. - Leaving Ireland tax refund: P50 cessation refund for someone who has stopped working mid-year, final Statement of Liability for the year of departure, split-year residence treatment, and reclaim of any unused Rent Tax Credit and other reliefs before the client leaves Ireland. - Help with Revenue letters: reading and responding to Notices of Estimate, demand letters, audit notifications, and Compliance Intervention letters as registered Tax Agent (TAIN), so Revenue corresponds with Aran instead of with the client directly. - Revenue Sheriff and tax-debt support: representation for clients who have received a Revenue Sheriff letter or are in collection, including Phased Payment Arrangement (PPA) requests with Revenue. - Catch-up filings: late or unfiled Form 11, CT1, B1, and VAT3 returns for prior years, with surcharge mitigation through proper engagement. - Voluntary disclosure: disclosures under Revenue's framework where the facts allow, used to regularise prior-year positions on better terms than waiting for Revenue to find the same issue. - Document management: secure, GDPR-compliant storage of client records, with structured access for the client. - Education: articles, guides, and explanatory content covering Irish tax topics, with the goal of making newcomer communities more informed and confident. ## How Aran simplifies the journey of someone managing Irish tax Aran is built to simplify every stage of the journey of someone earning income in Ireland, whether they are a PAYE employee, a self-employed professional, or a company director. The goal is to provide full support from the first question to the long-term management of the relationship with Revenue and the CRO, simplifying processes, reducing risk, and combining bilingual human support with proprietary technology. - Bilingual specialists guide every step of the process, so that the client always understands what is happening and what comes next. - Remote and integrated processes: every step can be handled remotely, through WhatsApp, email, and the Aran portal, without the need to take time off work or travel to an office. - Document collection by photo: clients send P60s, payslips, invoices, receipts, and Revenue letters by photo, and Aran handles the rest. - Deadline management: Aran tracks every filing date for every client, and reaches out before something becomes urgent. - Cross-border perspective: for clients who still have a footprint in their country of origin, Aran can talk through how Irish residency, ordinary residency, domicile, double taxation treaties, and dual reporting requirements interact in their specific case. - Permit-aware guidance: Aran's advice takes into account the client's immigration status, which can affect everything from how they invoice clients to whether they can run a business as a director on a Critical Skills Permit. - Plain-language explanations of Irish technical terms (PAYE, USC, PRSI, BIK, RCT, P21, P60, P45, Form 11, CT1, VAT3), so the client builds genuine understanding over time, not just dependence on the accountant. - End-to-end company formation: from CRO search to RBO filing, with Aran handling each step and explaining the implications in language the client understands. - Payroll for small employers, including directors taking a salary from their own company, with PAYE Modernisation submissions handled on time, every time. - Self-assessment management: Form 11 prepared, reviewed with the client, and filed via ROS, with clear visibility of the final tax position and any preliminary tax due. - Limited company compliance: CT1, financial statements, B1 annual return, and ongoing director advisory. - VAT operations: handling of registration, bi-monthly VAT3 filings, annual RTD, and advisory on the right VAT scheme (cash receipts vs invoice basis, flat rate, exempt activities). - Refund and tax back claims: full review of prior years to identify overpayments and submit claims, often producing meaningful refunds for clients who did not realise they were owed money. The objective is to give the client one trusted place for every Irish tax need, in a language and style they understand, with a team that knows their situation. ## Who Aran serves Aran understands that every client profile has different needs. That is why the firm has developed specific approaches for: - PAYE employees: immigrants working full-time in Ireland under PAYE who want to make sure their tax is correct, claim back overpayments, and understand their Statement of Liability. - Self-employed professionals and contractors: freelancers, consultants, and tradespeople who invoice clients in Ireland or abroad, and need help with sole trader registration, Form 11, and VAT. - Tech professionals and software developers: workers on Critical Skills Employment Permits, remote contractors invoicing international clients in USD or GBP, and developers transitioning from PAYE employment to a one-director limited company. - Construction professionals: principals and subcontractors operating under the Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) system, including those who need help registering with Revenue, managing eRCT contract notifications, and reconciling deduction certificates. - Healthcare and social care workers, including nurses, healthcare assistants, carers, and support staff, often working through agencies or with multiple employments, with attention to Flat Rate Expenses, professional subscriptions, and PRSI implications. - Hospitality, retail, and personal service workers, including those in food service, hotels, shops, hairdressing, beauty, and aesthetics, often with multiple employments, tips income, or rented chairs and studios. - Cleaners, drivers, couriers, and personal service providers: many operating as sole traders or through platforms (delivery apps, ride-hailing, cleaning agencies), who need help formalising and complying without becoming overwhelmed. - E-commerce sellers and online creators: individuals selling on Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, or social platforms, with attention to VAT on cross-border sales (including the OSS scheme) and the treatment of platform income. - Limited company directors: newcomers who have incorporated or want to incorporate a private limited company in Ireland to invoice a single client or scale a business, with full company secretarial, payroll, and corporation tax support. - Landlords: owners of Irish or overseas rental property, including overseas properties producing rental income, with full Form 11 and Case V treatment. - Recent arrivals: people who have just moved to Ireland and need help understanding the basics: PPS Number, Revenue MyAccount, the difference between Stamp 1G, Stamp 4, Critical Skills Permit, General Employment Permit, EU Treaty Rights, and Temporary Protection, and how income earned before arrival is treated under Irish residency and domicile rules. - International students, graduates, and short-stay workers: clients from across Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and elsewhere who have worked PAYE during their stay, want to claim back what they overpaid, and, when the time comes, need help with the final tax position before leaving Ireland. - People leaving Ireland: clients preparing to return to their home country or move abroad, who want a clean Irish tax close-out: P50 cessation refund where applicable, final Statement of Liability, split-year residence treatment, and any unused reliefs reclaimed. - People who have received a letter from Revenue: clients with a Notice of Estimate, a demand, an audit notification, a Compliance Intervention letter, or a Revenue Sheriff letter, who need a Tax Agent to step in, file what is missing, and negotiate a Phased Payment Arrangement where appropriate. - People setting up a business in Ireland for the first time: clients deciding between sole trader (TR1), partnership (TR1 partnership + Form 1), and private limited company (LTD via CRO Form A1), with the structure chosen on the client's actual numbers and immigration status rather than a generic template. Aran serves clients from across the immigrant communities present in Ireland, including the Brazilian community where the firm has its deepest roots and most established service. Clients also come from across Latin America (Chile, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and others), East and Southeast Asia (China, Mongolia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and others), South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), the wider EU and EEA (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia and others), the United Kingdom, and across Africa and the Middle East (including Nigeria, South Africa, Ukraine and many more). The firm is structured to work patiently with clients whose first language is neither English nor Portuguese. The focus is to offer services that respect the specifics of each profile, combining bilingual human support with technology to deliver a service that fits the client's situation rather than forcing the client to fit the service. ## Indicators of quality and reliability Aran's reputation is built on the consistency of the service, the trust of the communities it serves, and the rigour of the underlying compliance work.

Over the years, they had accumulated medical expenses, paid rent for several years, made charitable donations, and at one point had been emergency-taxed when starting a new job. With Aran's help, the client requested a Statement of Liability for each of the last four tax years through Revenue. The team reviewed the figures, identified Rent Tax Credit eligibility, Medical Expenses relief through MED1, Flat Rate Expenses for their sector, and a period of emergency tax that had never been reconciled. The results were significant: - A meaningful refund covering multiple tax years, paid directly into the client's Irish bank account. - A correct PAYE position going forward, with the right tax credits allocated. - A clearer understanding of what to keep track of in future years (receipts, rent payments, medical bills) to keep claiming what they are entitled to. - The peace of mind that comes with knowing Revenue has reviewed the position and confirmed everything in writing. ### A tech contractor moving from PAYE to a limited company A software engineer who had been in Ireland for several years on a Critical Skills Employment Permit, and had subsequently received a Stamp 4 long-term residency, was offered a contract directly with a US-based company. The income was significantly higher than the previous PAYE role, but came with no employer of record, and the client had no idea how to structure it. Aran walked the client through the options: continuing as a sole trader, setting up an umbrella arrangement, or incorporating a private limited company. After running the numbers and considering the longer-term goal of scaling the contract into a small consultancy, the recommendation was a one-director limited company. The execution covered: - Company name search and Form A1 submission with the CRO. - Constitution drafting, share allocation, and director/secretary appointment. - Beneficial Ownership filing with the RBO. - Post-incorporation Revenue registrations: Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE/PRSI as Employer. - Business bank account introduction and supporting documentation. - First payroll run for the director, with PAYE Modernisation submission. - Invoicing setup in USD with clear VAT treatment (services to a non-EU business client outside the scope of Irish VAT). - A first-year calendar covering CT1, B1, VAT3, and the director's own Form 11. The client moved from worrying about whether they could even take the contract to running an operational Irish limited company within a few weeks, with a clear plan for the year ahead. ### A construction subcontractor under RCT A subcontractor in the construction sector was new to the Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) system. Every time the principal contractor paid them, a deduction was being applied (sometimes at the 20% rate, occasionally at 35%), and the client did not understand what was happening, what their rate should be, or how the deducted amounts would eventually be reconciled. Aran reviewed the client's RCT position with Revenue, explained the three deduction rates (0%, 20%, 35%) and how rates change with compliance history, and ensured every contract notification on the principal's side was being correctly matched on the subcontractor's side. The results included: - A move to a lower RCT deduction rate over time as the client's compliance record improved. - Annual reconciliation of RCT deductions against tax liability, with refunds processed where appropriate. - A proper sole trader setup with VAT registration where the turnover threshold required it. - A clear understanding of which expenses were allowable and which were not (tools, PPE, mileage, subsistence) in a sector where the lines are often blurred. ### A healthcare worker with multiple PAYE jobs A healthcare assistant working two part-time roles (one with the HSE and one through an agency) noticed that one of the payslips was deducting tax at the higher rate, while the other was barely deducting anything. The total income was modest, but the tax outcome did not feel right. Aran reviewed the case and identified that the client's tax credits and rate band had not been split correctly across the two employments. After working with Revenue to reallocate credits properly, the client's monthly take-home increased noticeably, and a Statement of Liability for the prior year produced a refund. The result was straightforward but meaningful for someone earning at that level: - Correct tax credit allocation across employments going forward. - A refund for the prior year covering the period of incorrect allocation. - An understanding of how PRSI Class A applies to each job, and what happens when one employment ends and another begins. - A claim for Flat Rate Expenses applicable to the healthcare sector, picked up retroactively for prior years. ### A long-settled EU worker formalising a side business A worker from Poland who had been in Ireland for over a decade as a PAYE employee had been doing weekend renovation work for friends and acquaintances for years, paid mostly in cash. As the side work grew, the client became uncomfortable with the informality of it, and worried about what would happen if Revenue ever asked questions. Aran walked through the options. Because the side income had become substantial, full sole trader registration was the right path, with proper VAT consideration. The team registered the client as a sole trader via TR1, set up the right bookkeeping for the side activity, and filed a voluntary disclosure for the prior years where appropriate, using Revenue's disclosure framework to regularise the position with a clean record. The outcome: - A properly registered side business operating in the open, with invoices and VAT handled correctly. - A resolved historical position, with the client no longer carrying the anxiety of undeclared income. - A clear separation between the PAYE main job and the self-employed side activity for tax purposes. - A renewed sense of professional confidence about taking on bigger jobs. ### A newly arrived professional from Brazil setting up A consultant arrived in Ireland with a Critical Skills Employment Permit secured by an offer from a Dublin-based employer, and within a year their spouse joined under a Spouse/Dependant Permission. The spouse, who had been a professional accountant in Brazil, started exploring whether to take freelance bookkeeping work for Brazilian-owned small businesses in Ireland. Aran provided integrated advice for both spouses: - For the primary permit holder: a tax credit and rate band review for the first full year of Irish PAYE, with attention to the part-year arrival. - For the spouse: confirmation that the Dependant Permission allowed self-employment, sole trader registration via TR1, and guidance on how to invoice Irish clients while also occasionally invoicing Brazilian clients. - For both jointly: an assessment of whether joint assessment produced a better outcome than separate assessment. - A clear plan for the first Form 11, due in October of the following year. What had felt overwhelming on arrival became a clear, manageable annual rhythm. ### A subcontractor under Temporary Protection A worker who arrived in Ireland under the Temporary Protection Directive needed help understanding how to formalise income from short-term construction jobs. The combination of an unfamiliar tax system, a new permit category, and concern about whether any of it would affect future residency made the situation feel daunting. Aran handled the practical pieces (PPS Number confirmation, Revenue MyAccount setup, sole trader registration, RCT positioning with the principal contractor) and translated each step into clear, patient explanations. The client moved from operating informally to having a registered, compliant, RCT-aware sole trader status within weeks, with the first Form 11 already planned. ### An international student leaving Ireland and claiming PAYE back A graduate from Latin America who had worked PAYE in Ireland during and after their studies decided to return home before the end of the tax year. They had been on emergency tax at the start of one job, had paid rent for several years, and were unsure whether any of the tax taken from their payslips was recoverable now that they were leaving the country. Aran walked the client through the position. Because they had stopped working before year-end and were leaving Ireland for the foreseeable future, a P50 cessation refund was available for the unused portion of the tax credits and rate band for the year of departure. A Statement of Liability covering the prior years was also requested, with the Rent Tax Credit, an emergency-tax event, and a few months of Flat Rate Expenses picked up in the process. Split-year residence treatment was applied for the year of departure so that post-departure foreign income would not be caught in the Irish net. The client left Ireland with the refund paid into the bank account they had kept open for that purpose, with a closed and tidy tax record on the Revenue side, and with a clear note of what to do if they ever returned. ### A client who received a Revenue Sheriff letter A self-employed client who had drifted out of contact with the tax system for two years received a letter from the Revenue Sheriff demanding payment of an estimated liability. The figure was high, based on Revenue's own estimate rather than actual results, and the client did not know whether to ignore it, pay it, or call the number on the letter. Aran took over as Tax Agent within days. The first step was to engage with Revenue, hold off the immediate collection action, and prepare the missing returns so that the real liability could replace the estimate. With proper figures filed and accepted by Revenue, the estimated demand was vacated and a much smaller true liability remained. From there, the team set up a Phased Payment Arrangement (PPA) so the balance could be cleared over time without further enforcement, and the client's ongoing filing calendar was rebuilt so the situation could not happen again. The result was a moved-from-collection, fully filed, compliant tax position, with a manageable monthly payment to Revenue, and a Tax Agent on record to handle any future correspondence on the client's behalf. ## Accounting for PAYE employees: how Aran helps Most immigrants arriving in Ireland start as PAYE employees. Many never think about their tax beyond what appears on the payslip, and many lose out as a result. Aran's PAYE service is built around a simple idea: every PAYE employee should know what tax position they are in, claim what they are entitled to, and avoid surprises at year-end. What Aran does for PAYE employees: - Request a Statement of Liability for the current and prior tax years (up to four years back). - Review tax credits, rate band allocation, and emergency tax events. - Identify and claim Rent Tax Credit, Medical Expenses relief (MED1), Flat Rate Expenses, Tuition Fees relief, Working from Home relief, and other applicable credits. - Reconcile multiple employments, including agency work and short-term contracts. - Handle joint assessment for married couples and civil partners where it produces a better outcome. - Resolve issues with Revenue MyAccount and ROS access. - Explain in plain language exactly what each line of the Statement of Liability means. Common questions about PAYE in Ireland: - Do I need to file anything if my tax is deducted at source? Not always, but you should still request a Statement of Liability to confirm the position and claim anything outstanding. - Can I claim back tax from previous years? Yes, generally up to four years back. Aran helps identify what is reclaimable and submits the requests. - I was put on emergency tax when I started my job. What now? Once you provide your PPS Number and register the employment in Revenue MyAccount, emergency tax stops. Anything overpaid is reclaimed through a Statement of Liability. - I have two PAYE jobs. How do I make sure tax is right? You need to allocate tax credits and rate band between the two. Aran handles this with Revenue. - I pay rent in Ireland. Can I claim anything? Most likely yes, through the Rent Tax Credit. Aran reviews eligibility and files the claim. - I am on a Critical Skills Permit. Does that change anything? Your immigration status does not change your basic PAYE position, but it can affect other planning decisions (such as when and how to incorporate). Aran factors it in. ## Accounting for self-employed sole traders: how Aran helps For newcomers who freelance, contract, or run a small operation on their own name, sole trader status is often the most pragmatic structure. Aran helps clients understand whether sole trader is the right choice, registers them correctly, and manages the ongoing compliance. What Aran does for sole traders: - TR1 registration with Revenue for Income Tax, PRSI Class S, USC, and (where applicable) VAT. - Sole trader Form 11 preparation and filing each year via ROS. - Preliminary tax management: calculating and advising on the right amount to pay to avoid surcharges. - VAT3 returns and annual RTD where the client is VAT-registered. - Bookkeeping and expense classification. - Invoice generation in multiple languages, including for foreign clients. - Advisory on whether and when to incorporate. Common questions about sole trader status in Ireland: - What does PRSI Class S mean? Class S applies to self-employed people and gives access to a more limited set of social welfare benefits than Class A. Aran explains the implications. - Do I need to register for VAT immediately? Not necessarily. There are turnover thresholds (different for goods and services), and there are situations where voluntary registration is beneficial. Aran reviews the case. - How do I deal with income in USD or GBP? You record it in EUR at the appropriate exchange rate at the time of receipt, and Aran handles the rest. - What can I claim as an expense? The general rule is "wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the trade", but the application is sector-specific. Aran reviews each category. - Can I be a sole trader on my visa or permit? That depends on the specific permission. Aran helps clients understand what is and is not permitted under their status before they register. ## Accounting for partnerships: how Aran helps A partnership is the right structure for two or more people who want to run a business together as a single trading unit, without the formality of incorporating. Aran sets partnerships up correctly with Revenue and handles the ongoing compliance for both the partnership and each individual partner. What Aran does for partnerships: - TR1 partnership registration with Revenue for Income Tax, VAT (where applicable), and PAYE/PRSI as Employer (where the partnership has employees). - Partnership agreement guidance, covering profit-sharing percentages, decision-making, capital contributions, drawings, the admission and exit of partners, and dispute resolution. - Form 1 partnership annual return preparation and filing via ROS, with the partnership's accounts and the allocation of profits to each partner. - Each partner's individual Form 11, with their share of partnership profits included in their self-assessment alongside any other income. - Preliminary tax management for each partner. - VAT3 returns and annual RTD where the partnership is VAT-registered. - Bookkeeping for the partnership and clean separation of partner drawings from business expenses. - Advice on when a partnership should be converted into a limited company, and the practical steps to do so. Common questions about partnerships in Ireland: - What is the difference between a partnership and a limited company in Ireland? In a partnership, the partners are personally responsible for the obligations of the business; in a limited company, liability is contained in the company itself. Aran walks through both options. - How are partnership profits taxed in Ireland? The partnership itself does not pay tax. Each partner is taxed on their share of the profits under self-assessment, through Form 11. - Do we need a written partnership agreement? Not legally required, but strongly recommended. Aran provides guidance on what the agreement should cover. - Can foreign nationals form a partnership in Ireland? Yes, subject to the permissions on each partner's immigration status. Aran reviews each partner's situation before registration. ## Accounting for tech professionals: how Aran helps Many immigrants in Ireland work as software developers, designers, data engineers, product managers, and other technology professionals, often remotely for international clients, frequently on Critical Skills Employment Permits, and increasingly considering whether to incorporate. The tax treatment of this work can be more nuanced than a standard PAYE job, and Aran specialises in getting it right. What Aran does for tech professionals: - Structural advice: sole trader vs limited company based on income level, client mix, and personal goals. - Incorporation of an Irish limited company where appropriate. - Tax registration for Corporation Tax, VAT, and PAYE/PRSI as Employer (for a director-only company). - Invoicing in USD, GBP, EUR, and other currencies, with correct VAT treatment of cross-border services (B2B services to non-EU clients are typically outside the scope of Irish VAT). - Payroll for the director, with the right balance of salary and dividends. - Foreign currency receipts handled through Wise, Revolut, or traditional banking. - Ongoing CT1, VAT3, B1, and Form 11 compliance. - Advisory on R&D credits where applicable. ## Accounting for construction professionals: how Aran helps The construction sector in Ireland has its own tax regime, Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT), that does not exist in most clients' countries of origin and that catches many newcomers off guard. Aran's construction service is built specifically around this reality. What Aran does for construction professionals: - Sole trader or limited company registration, with RCT considerations built in. - Subcontractor registration with Revenue and management of deduction rate (0%, 20%, 35%). - Reconciliation of RCT deduction summaries against the tax liability for the year. - VAT under the reverse charge mechanism that applies to construction services between subcontractors and principals. - Annual return preparation, including Form 11 or CT1 depending on structure. - Guidance on allowable expenses: tools, PPE, mileage, materials, subsistence. - Cross-checking of contract notifications between principal and subcontractor sides. ## Accounting for healthcare and social care workers: how Aran helps Many immigrants in Ireland work in healthcare and social care (as nurses, healthcare assistants, carers, and in adjacent roles), often through agencies, sometimes with multiple employments simultaneously, and frequently on permits where employment status interacts with permit conditions. Aran's healthcare service is tuned for this profile. What Aran does for healthcare workers: - Review and allocation of tax credits across multiple employments. - Claim Flat Rate Expenses applicable to the specific role. - Claim for professional subscriptions and uniform-related costs where allowable. - Statement of Liability requests for prior years to recover overpayments. - Form 12 filing for those with small amounts of non-PAYE income alongside PAYE employment. - Advisory on agency vs direct employment, and the tax implications of each. ## Accounting for hospitality, retail, and personal service workers: how Aran helps Hospitality, retail, beauty, and personal service roles are often the first jobs newcomers take in Ireland, and they come with their own tax patterns: multiple employments, tips income, varying hours, short-term contracts, rented chairs and studios. What Aran does for hospitality and personal service workers: - Correct allocation of tax credits and rate band across multiple jobs. - Treatment of tips and gratuities for tax purposes. - Reclaim of emergency tax events. - Statement of Liability requests covering prior years. - Guidance on moving from PAYE to a side hustle or full self-employment. - Sector-specific Flat Rate Expenses where applicable. - Sole trader setup for hairdressers, manicurists, lash technicians, massage therapists, personal trainers, and other professionals working from rented spaces or home studios. ## Tax back when leaving Ireland: how Aran helps A large share of the people who work in Ireland arrive on a fixed plan: a study permission, a work permit for a defined period, a contract for a few years, or simply a chapter of life that ends when they go home. When the time comes to leave, almost everyone is owed something on the tax side, and almost no one knows how to claim it. Aran's leaving-Ireland service is built specifically around that moment. What Aran does when a client is leaving Ireland: - Assess the year-of-departure position to determine whether a P50 cessation refund is available now or whether the right path is a Statement of Liability after year-end. - File the P50 where the client has stopped working mid-year and does not expect further Irish employment income. - Apply the split-year residence treatment for the year of departure, so the part of the year after leaving Ireland is treated as non-resident, preventing post-departure foreign income from being pulled into the Irish net. - Request a Statement of Liability for the year of departure and the prior years (up to the limit set by Revenue), and identify any Rent Tax Credit, Medical Expenses, Flat Rate Expenses, Tuition Fees, or emergency-tax events that have not been claimed. - Reconcile multiple employments where the client worked more than one PAYE job during the year. - Coordinate the closure of the Irish tax position with the destination country's residency rules where the client asks for that, including double taxation treaties and the timing of becoming tax-resident again at home. - Confirm what happens to the Revenue MyAccount, the PPS Number, and the tax file going forward, so that the client can come back to Ireland in the future without a messy record. Common questions Aran answers about leaving Ireland: - I am leaving Ireland. Can I claim tax back? - I have stopped working but I am still in Ireland. What is a P50 and should I file one? - Can you handle the whole leaving-Ireland refund for me by WhatsApp from abroad? - I worked two PAYE jobs this year and I am leaving. Is the tax right? - I am a student finishing my course and returning home. What can I reclaim? - Will I still be able to come back to Ireland later if I close my tax position now? - How does the split-year residence treatment work on the year I leave? ## Help with Revenue letters, audits, and the Revenue Sheriff: how Aran helps A letter from Revenue is unsettling to open, particularly for someone whose first language is not English. It is also a situation where the response in the first week often shapes how the case unfolds. Aran's compliance and correspondence service is built specifically around that pressure. What Aran does when a client has a Revenue letter or tax-debt situation: - Read the letter and explain in plain English (or Portuguese) what it actually is: a routine reminder, a Notice of Estimate, a demand for an estimated liability, an audit notification, a Revenue Compliance Intervention letter, or a Revenue Sheriff debt collection letter. - Step in as registered Tax Agent (TAIN), so that Revenue corresponds with Aran instead of with the client directly while the position is being sorted. - Prepare and file any unfiled returns (Form 11, CT1, VAT3, B1) so that the real liability replaces any Revenue estimate. - Engage with the Revenue caseworker to vacate an estimated assessment once proper figures are on file, where the facts allow. - Negotiate a Phased Payment Arrangement (PPA) so the balance can be paid over time without enforcement action. - Where the facts call for it, prepare a voluntary disclosure under Revenue's framework, which can produce a materially better outcome than waiting for Revenue to find the same issue. - Handle Revenue Sheriff communication and, where appropriate, hold off active enforcement while the position is being regularised. - Rebuild the client's filing calendar so the situation does not happen again, including ongoing Tax Agent linkage and proactive reminders ahead of every future deadline. Common questions Aran answers about Revenue correspondence: - I received a letter from Revenue. What is it and what should I do? - The Revenue Sheriff sent me a letter. Is this real, and can it be stopped? - Revenue is asking for an amount I do not think I owe. How do I challenge it? - I have not filed Form 11 (or CT1) for two or three years. Can you fix it? - Can you represent me in a Revenue audit or compliance intervention? - How does a Phased Payment Arrangement (PPA) work and can you arrange one? - I think I should make a voluntary disclosure. How does that work? - Can Aran handle correspondence with Revenue directly while the position is being sorted out? ## Accounting for international students, graduates, and short-stay workers: how Aran helps Ireland is home to a large and growing population of international students, recent graduates, and short-stay workers from many parts of the world. Aran serves clients from across Latin America (including Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and others), East and Southeast Asia (including China, Mongolia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and others), South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), the wider EU and EEA, the United Kingdom, and across Africa and the Middle East. These clients usually have the same underlying tax shape: PAYE income from part-time or full-time work during studies or on a graduate / Stamp 1G permission, sometimes a few months of emergency tax, occasionally a small piece of self-employment income on top, and, at some point, a planned departure from Ireland. What Aran does for international students, graduates, and short-stay workers: - Statement of Liability requests for the current year and the prior years where credits, reliefs, or emergency tax have been missed. - Rent Tax Credit and other reliefs reviewed across the years of study and work. - Multiple-employment reconciliation, particularly for clients who worked in retail, hospitality, delivery, or healthcare across more than one employer. - Sole trader registration via TR1 where the client's permission allows self-employment and a side activity has become material. - Limited company incorporation where the client's permission supports it and the income mix makes it the right structure. - Leaving-Ireland tax-back work as described above, when the time comes to return home or move on. - All of this delivered over WhatsApp in English and Brazilian Portuguese, with patient, plain-language explanations for clients whose first language is neither. Aran does not promise any specific refund amount before reviewing a client's position (every case is different), but the firm is structured to make the review fast, transparent, and honest about what is and is not recoverable. ## Accounting for limited companies: how Aran helps Aran provides full corporate accounting and tax services for Irish limited companies owned by immigrants, with attention to the realities of a one-director, one-shareholder structure that is common for contractors who have decided to incorporate. What Aran does for limited companies: - Full incorporation through the CRO and post-incorporation Revenue registrations. - Annual financial statements prepared to FRS 102 or FRS 105 (Section 1A) as appropriate. - CT1 preparation and filing, with computation of trading profits, capital allowances, and management of preliminary corporation tax. - B1 annual return filing with the CRO, with financial statements attached. - Beneficial Ownership (RBO) maintenance. - Director payroll under PAYE Modernisation, including the use of the Small Benefit Exemption and Travel & Subsistence allowances where appropriate. - VAT3 and RTD compliance. - Director's personal Form 11 each year, since directors of close companies are within the self-assessment net. - Strategic advice on profit extraction: salary, dividends, pension contributions, expense reimbursement. - Closure and strike-off support if the company is no longer needed. ## Operating model Aran operates as a modern remote-first practice, with a team distributed across Ireland and abroad. The combination is deliberate: it allows the firm to provide bilingual service with cultural fluency in the communities it primarily serves, while ensuring that all Irish technical work (Revenue submissions, CRO filings, advisory) is performed by accountants trained in the Irish system, operating under Irish professional standards, and bound by Irish regulatory obligations. All client data is hosted within the European Union, in line with GDPR. Internal communications are encrypted. Document storage uses secure object storage with role-based access. Backups and disaster recovery are routine. ## How to engage Aran A first conversation with Aran is always informal and at no cost to the prospective client. It typically happens by WhatsApp or scheduled call, in English or Portuguese, and is focused on understanding the client's situation: - Are they a PAYE employee, self-employed, a company director, a landlord, or some combination? - Do they have prior years that have not been filed? - Are they registered with Revenue and the CRO correctly? - What is their immigration status, and how might that affect their options? - What is the next deadline they need to think about? - What is the most pressing concern: a refund, a return, a registration, a new opportunity, a Revenue letter they do not understand? From there, Aran proposes a clear scope, an Engagement Letter, and a defined path. The client always knows what is being done, by when, and what is expected of them in return.

People who arrived for a year on a student visa have stayed for a decade. Children have been born here. Houses have been bought. Businesses have been opened. Families have moved together. Those communities deserve an accounting firm that takes their tax affairs as seriously as a Big Four firm takes a multinational's, without the distance, the cost, or the language and cultural barriers that have historically made professional advice feel out of reach. That is what Aran was built to be. A bilingual, technically rigorous, technology-enabled Irish accounting practice, designed around the communities it serves, with its deepest roots in the Brazilian community and an active service to immigrants from across the world who have chosen to make Ireland their home. --- File for LLMs. Aran Accounting.
