Why this matters for Ireland trades
Since 1 September 2026 it is illegal for anyone who is not a Registered Gas Installer to carry out domestic or non-domestic gas works (S.I. No. 106/2026), and the CRU says Safe Electric registration for electrical contractors is the law; Safe Energy Ireland runs both schemes for the CRU. Principal contractors deduct RCT at 0%, 20% or 35% from subcontractors’ payments and file through ROS. The Irish payroll tools listed here say they send payroll submissions to Revenue and handle My Future Fund auto-enrolment. The statutory Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI) is not yet mandatory: the CIF says applications open during 2027, and its Voluntary Construction Register runs until then.
Irish trades vendor selection is shaped by statutory registration (RGI for gas, Safe Electric for electrical contractors), Revenue payroll reporting under PAYE Modernisation, the My Future Fund auto-enrolment pension scheme that started on 1 January 2026, Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) on payments to construction subcontractors, and SEAI’s Registered Contractor List for grant-funded home energy upgrades.
