ROS Registration

picorette

I am trying to become a ROS Customer, as they say on the website.

I completed the first step & successfully applied for a ROS Access Number, but now I am having difficulties with the second step - applying for a Digital Certificate.

The webpage asks for my tax Type and registration no / ID no, with a long list of options as below:
PAYE-Emp
VAT
Environmental Levy
Income Tax
Corporation Tax
CGT
DWT
DIRT
PSWT
SSIA
IUT
LAET
C&E
CAT
RCT
Betting Duty
Air Travel Tax
Excise Licence
EVR

I am self employed with a PPS no. for my tax affairs. Which of these should i put in ? Income tax ?

Never realised how confusing this might be.

You'd select "income tax" (provided you are registered for self-assessment).

PAYE-Emp once you've employed someone

VAT once income over certain threshold

Thanks.
I am self employed, so put in Income Tax & my PPS no( PAYE-emp & VAT not applicable yet).
The next page that comes up shows different taxes for which it says I am currently registered:
Income tax
Capital Gains Tax
CAT
Excise License
Stamp Duty
Pension Schemes Levy

It also has C&E, Transit, and EU Savings Dir but N/A against these.

Should I submit based on this, or be wary of agreeing all the different types ?

Capital gains tax is standard.

Some of the others such as CAT, Stamp duty, excise could be there because you've paid them at some time in the past.

I don't know why pensions levy comes up. (It used to show environmental levy here as well.)

I think you're safe enough to proceed. But if you really want to make sure give the ROS helpline a call - they're usually very helpful.

Thanks. I don't know why most of them showed up. Never paid CAT or stamp duty but I do have a private pension, that I claimed tax relief on the contributions.
