Calculated outcomes
- Total Turnover
- €40,000.00
- Goods Share Percent
- 0%
- Assessment
- Entered turnover does not exceed this threshold
Assumptions and estimates
- Ordinary Irish-established domestic trader only; enter relevant annual taxable turnover excluding VAT under the applicable Revenue assessment rules. Cross-border services/acquisitions, distance selling, non-established traders, exempt supplies and EU SME-scheme eligibility can create separate obligations. Registration may be elected below the threshold; this is not a registration decision.
- Method: Ordinary services threshold €42,500; goods threshold €85,000. Mixed supplies use €85,000 when qualifying goods are at least 90% of turnover; the zero-rated-material manufacturing exception uses €42,500.
- Threshold comparison, not a registration decision. Irish-established domestic traders only. Confirm the applicable annual assessment period and turnover definition. Imports/acquisitions, cross-border supplies, exempt activities, non-established traders and EU SME eligibility can create separate obligations.
