09Questions on file
Q01What happens if the annual return is late?

A late B1 return triggers a CRO penalty of EUR 100 plus EUR 3 per day, capped at EUR 1,200 per return, and the loss of audit exemption for the next two years. We monitor your date so the filing is always made inside the 56-day window.

Q02Can I use your address as my registered office?

Yes. We provide a compliant Irish registered office address inside the State, receive official correspondence there and forward it to you. This is the usual route for founders based outside Ireland.

Q03When is my first annual return due?

A company's first annual return date falls six months after incorporation, and that first return does not need accounts attached. Every return after that is annual and normally includes financial statements. You then have 56 days from the return date to complete the B1 filing.

Q04Do I need a separate company secretary?

If your LTD has only one director, it must appoint a different person or a corporate body as company secretary. A company secretarial provider fills that seat cleanly without adding a second shareholder to your cap table.

Q05What does the registered office actually have to be?

The CRO requires a physical address within the State where documents can be legally served. A PO box does not qualify, which is why most foreign founders use a provider's address.
