ie-return-assembly.mdIE

Use this skill whenever asked to assemble, finalize, or package an Irish annual tax return. Trigger on phrases like "Ireland tax return assembly", "Form 11 final", "CT1 final filing", "ROS submission Ireland", "preliminary tax Ireland", "31 October Ireland", "assemble Irish return", "prepare Form 11", "prepare Form 12", "finalize Irish self-assessment", or "Revenue Online Service pay and file". This is the capstone orchestrator that pulls together outputs from ie-income-tax-form11, ie-preliminary-tax, ie-prsi-class-s, ie-usc, ireland-vat-return, ie-corporation-tax, ie-paye, ie-payroll, ie-cgt, ie-cat, and ie-formation into a single Form 11 / Form 12 / CT1 working paper plus payment and filing instructions for the Revenue Online Service (ROS). It does not recompute anything itself — it reconciles upstream outputs, builds the line-by-line working paper, generates ROS payment instructions, and produces a reviewer brief and taxpayer action list. ALWAYS read this skill last when finalizing an Irish tax return.

ie-non-dom.mdIE

Use this skill for any question about how Ireland taxes people who are resident but not domiciled in Ireland. Trigger on: "Ireland non-dom", "Irish non-domiciled", "remittance basis Ireland", "move to Ireland tax", "Irish tax foreign income", "Ireland domicile tax", "not domiciled Ireland", "Irish resident non-dom", "Ireland foreign dividends tax", "Irish non-dom CGT", "Irish domicile levy", "ordinarily resident Ireland". Covers the residence and ordinary residence tests, domicile, the remittance basis for foreign income and foreign gains and what it excludes, the pre-arrival savings practice, mixed accounts and spouse transfers, and the domicile levy for Irish domiciled individuals.

ie-freelance-intake.mdIE

It asks the intake questions that decide the route (tax residence, domicile and ordinary residence, entity type, the self-assessment registration tests, the VAT registration thresholds, the Class S income and director tests, preliminary tax options, the ROS pay and file date, employees, RCT, capital gains and gifts), routes to ie-income-tax-form11, ie-preliminary-tax, ie-prsi-class-s, ie-usc, ie-vat-return, ie-corporation-tax, ie-payroll, ie-cgt, ie-cat, ie-non-dom and ie-formation, hands off to ie-return-assembly, and refers non-residents, arrival and departure years and large groups.

ie-cgt.mdIE

Use for "Ireland CGT", "Irish Capital Gains Tax", "PPR exemption Ireland", "Entrepreneur Relief Ireland", "Retirement Relief Ireland", "CG50 clearance", "Form CG1", "preliminary CGT Ireland", "ROS CGT", "Irish share disposal tax", "Euronext Dublin share sale CGT", "Irish property gain", "non-resident CGT Ireland", "Irish-situs CGT", "crypto CGT Ireland", or any question about computing, paying or reporting Irish capital gains.

ie-formation.mdIE

Use this skill when someone asks how to start or register a business in Ireland: choosing between sole trader, partnership, LTD, DAC, CLG or PLC; forming a company under the Companies Act 2014 (directors, secretary, the EEA-resident director rule and its bond and section 140 alternatives, constitution); registering a business name; beneficial ownership (RBO) filing; registering with Revenue on Form TR1 or TR2 or through ROS for Income Tax, Corporation Tax, VAT, employer PAYE and RCT; VAT registration thresholds; and the first annual return, CT1 and Form 11 dates. Includes worked sole trader versus company comparisons for 2026. Routes VAT returns to ireland-vat-return and Corporation Tax computations to ie-corporation-tax. Out of scope: immigration, funds, listing, and sector licensing beyond signposting.

ie-prsi-class-s.mdIE

Use this skill for Irish PRSI Class S contributions by self-employed people, proprietary directors and people with only investment or rental income. Trigger on "PRSI self-employed", "Class S contributions", "how much PRSI do I pay", "PRSI calculation Ireland", "self-employed social insurance Ireland", "PRSI threshold", or any Class S question for an Irish client.
