Company directors of Irish limited companies must apply for and obtain a Personal Public Service number as required by law. Individual shareholders who receive dividends must apply for a PPS number as well.

TAS Consulting Limited can help your company officers apply for a PPS number in the shortest amount of time possible. This number is a national identification number similar to a Social Security number that is used for taxation and other purposes. This number consists of seven digits followed by one or two letter

Applicants from outside of Ireland

If you live outside of Ireland and require a PPS number to engage with a certain entity in Ireland, you can apply for one. If you live in Northern Ireland or the United Kingdom and work in Ireland (as a cross-border worker), you must apply for a PPS number as usual.

Beneficial Owners

Any beneficial owner who owns more than 25% of a company in Ireland is required to register with the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (RBO). This beneficial owner must register for a PPS number if they are also a shareholder and receive dividends.
