thanks papervalue,
had a look at form 12, looks complicated, i would probably be just filling in section10, earnings from profession and leave sections like tax credits, pension/ prsa contributions blank?
from revenue.ie seems that to register for vat would need to earn more than €37000, if I didnt register for vat, is it correct that when I would be charging/ billing someone that I would be excluding vat from their bill? am a little clueless with these matters, thanks
