Tr1 form - How long does it take?

Fukuyama

Hey,
I recently submitted a TR1 form to register as a sole trader.

How long will it take for me to be registered as a sole trader and will I even hear back from the revenue?

Thanks!
Dean.

Normally takes a few days and you will receive a letter form Revenue confirming your tax registration broken down into which taxes you registered for

Is more likely to take a few weeks(4-6) than days!!!( if there are any problems with the TR1...can take even longer)
For a soletrader, the tax number they will issue will generally be your own PPS number....so if you need to start invoicing use this but be sure not to date the invoices any earlier than you filled out on the TR1

4-6 weeks....thats if you don't pester them with a few phone calls to hurry it on!! Make sure you ask for Registrations when calling your local tax office. Ive had clients registered in two days recently but I'd say the Revenue must have nothing to do at the moment so things are getting done quicker

Is it still taking 4 to 6 weeks to hear back from them with a tax number

I was told over the phone last week that it should only take a few days, possibly up to 10 days if you were looking to get VAT registered too.
