Step 1: Register as an Employe

Before you can run payroll in Ireland, you need to register as an employer with the Revenue Commissioners. You can register online through the Revenue Online Service (ROS). During the registration process, you will be required to provide details such as your company name, address, tax registration number, and the number of employees you have.

Step 2: Calculate Gross Pay

Gross pay is the total amount of money that an employee earns before any deductions are made. To calculate gross pay, you need to know the employee’s hourly rate or annual salary, as well as any additional payments such as bonuses or overtime.

Step 3: Calculate Deductions

Once you have calculated the employee’s gross pay, you need to deduct the appropriate taxes and other deductions. These deductions include income tax, social security contributions, and any other deductions that are required by law.

Step 4: Make Payments

After you have calculated the employee’s net pay, you need to make the necessary payments to the Revenue Commissioners and other entities. You will need to make payments for income tax, social security contributions, and any other deductions that have been made

Step 5: File Payroll Returns

You are required to file a payroll return with the Revenue Commissioners every time you run payroll. The payroll return includes information about the gross pay, deductions, and net pay for each employee. You can file your payroll return online through ROS.

Step 6: Keep Records

It is important to keep accurate records of all payroll transactions. You should keep records of employee details, hours worked, gross pay, deductions, and net pay. You should also keep records of all payroll returns and payments that you have made.
