Accounting for the way Clare does business
Clare runs on three engines that rarely overlap. Shannon and its free zone hold an aviation cluster — leasing, maintenance, parts and the engineering contractors who move between them — alongside a long-established manufacturing and logistics base. The west of the county, from Lahinch and Doolin through Lisdoonvarna to the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher, lives on a tourism season that is now longer but still sharply seasonal. East Clare, around Tulla, Scariff and Killaloe, is farming country, with dairy and beef alongside a growing number of people running businesses from home.
That mix produces two recurring questions. Aviation and engineering contractors ask whether to stay a sole trader or incorporate, and seasonal operators ask how to handle VAT and payroll when six months carry the other six. We answer both with your own figures rather than a rule of thumb.
Aviation & engineering contractors
Company set-up, salary versus dividends, expenses and director tax returns for specialists on contract.
Tourism & hospitality
The right VAT rate on rooms, food and activities, seasonal payroll and cash-flow planning for a short season.
Farming & land
Accounts and tax for dairy, beef and leased land, including succession and capital taxes.
Start-ups & home businesses
Registration, VAT decisions and a clean set of books from your very first invoice.
