Tax, VAT & Employer Registration
TIC, VAT and Social Insurance employer registration — in the right order, at the right time.
Typical appointment: 45 min
Registration deadlines here are triggered by events, not by the calendar: crossing the VAT threshold, making your first intra-EU acquisition, hiring your first employee. Miss the trigger and the penalty is calculated from the date you should have registered, not the date you noticed.
We work out which registrations your business actually needs, when each one is triggered, and file them.

- ✓VAT registration, including where registration is mandatory from the first transaction
