Does anyone know how to register with Revenue as an employer and is it easy to do, is there any legal resonsibilities that it involves, is it easier to do than to register a Ltd company?

Hey Dude,

Yeah the Form Tr1 is the document used to register as an employer. As far as I can remember you can register for VAT on it too. It is relatively straight forward and painless to register.

If registering as an employer you will have responsibilities from a tax compliance point of view as well as employment law, health and safety etc etc.

Initially as it is less complex a lot go down the sole trader point of view. There are also more costs involved in forming a ltd company

Hi

You do not need to register a limited company to be an employer. You can also be a sole trader or a partnership and register as an employer. In this case you will need to complete form TR2.

Kind Regards

TR1/TR2 if you are not already tax registered. If you are, you complete form "PREMReg" (search for it on revenue.ie).
