The tax free threshold of 0% corporate tax which applies to Irish Limited Companies that are incorporated and begin trading no later than 31/12/2009 will soon arrive. This deadline is further shortened by the CRO (company registration office) christmas opening times. They can only guarantee new company applications received by 14/12/2009 will be processed before 31/12/2009. To meet the criteria as incorporated and having begun trading during 2009 a tax registration application also has to be submitted. This can only be done after the company is incorporated. It is therefore vital that these applications are made now, preferably in November, to ensure you meet the above conditions.
