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

Who is needed to have a PPS Number?

If they own more than 15% of the company’s shares or receive a salary from the company, all Irish company directors will need an Irish PPS number.

Anyone who wishes to receive a salary from an Irish-registered company must apply for a Personal Public Service number from the Revenue Commissioners.

Individual shareholders who receive dividends from an Irish-registered corporation must also apply for a PPS number.

Anyone who does not already have an Irish Personal Public Service Number must apply to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. This process can take several months due to a large backlog of applications.

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.
