Accounting for the way Donegal does business
Donegal works to its own economic map. Letterkenny is the commercial centre, with financial services, shared services and medtech employment alongside the hospital and the university campus. Killybegs remains the country’s most important fishing port, and the seafood catching, processing and servicing businesses around it operate on margins and cycles that look nothing like the rest of the economy. Tourism runs the length of the county, from Bundoran and Slieve League up to Glenveagh and Inishowen, and it is strongly seasonal. Behind all of it sits a large construction and trades sector and a farming base of sheep and suckler herds.
What makes Donegal genuinely different is the border. Thousands of people here live in the county and work in Derry or Strabane, and businesses routinely buy, sell and subcontract across the line. That brings foreign employment income, trans-border workers relief, currency and cross-border VAT into returns that would otherwise be straightforward. It is worth getting advice from someone who expects it.
Cross-border workers & traders
Foreign employment income, trans-border workers relief, cross-border VAT and the records that support a claim.
Fishing & seafood
Accounts and tax for catching, processing and marine servicing businesses, including vessel costs and crew payroll.
Tourism & hospitality
The right VAT rate on rooms, food and activities, seasonal payroll and cash flow built for a short season.
Construction & subcontractors
RCT, reverse-charge VAT, subcontractor records and the returns that keep your tax clearance in order.
