    Hi all. Don't know where to turn and can't afford an accountant just yet.

    I am a self employed musician and private music teacher with 3/4 forms of separate income. I am registered for tax starting Oct 2013 but have yet to pay tax for 2013 or 2014 preliminary tax. Have just registered with ros but it said I have to wait 8 working days before I can do any further registration or get digital cert. officially freaking out over pay and file date. What is my next step here... Must I wait for ros to get back to me? Will I be penalised for not paying 2013 tax yet? I only worked for 3 months in 2013 as self employed.. Do I still have to pay the same rate of tax? I barely made €2000 in that period. So confused. :(

    October 31 is only the deadline if you dont pay online. If you pay online you have till November 13 so relax.

    Do you have any other sources of income during the year or just the €2,000 self employed. You need to do that before you cqn figure out what you owe.
