Why this matters for Ireland trades
Gas work requires Registered Gas Installer (RGI) status and electrical work requires Safe Electric registration, while payroll/accounting must handle Revenue PAYE Modernisation (real-time reporting), RCT, and VAT.
Irish trades vendor selection is shaped by statutory registration (RGI for gas, Safe Electric for electrical), Revenue PAYE Modernisation real-time reporting, RCT for construction subcontractors, and VAT.
