Accounting for the way Louth does business
Louth is the smallest county in the country and one of the busiest. Dundalk and Drogheda between them hold a large technology, shared-services and manufacturing workforce, and the M1 corridor has made the county a natural base for logistics, distribution and food production. What really sets Louth apart is the border. A great many businesses here buy, sell, hire or subcontract across it, which brings currency, VAT, customs and sometimes two sets of rules into an otherwise ordinary set of accounts. Add a strong construction and trades sector, Boyne Valley food producers and a tourism trade around Carlingford, and you have a county where no two client files look alike.
The questions we hear most from Louth are about VAT and customs on cross-border sales and purchases, and about getting RCT and subcontractor records right. Both are process problems. Once they are set up properly they stop being a monthly headache.
Cross-border trade
VAT and customs on goods and services moving north and south, currency handling and the records Revenue expects.
Construction & subcontractors
RCT, reverse-charge VAT, subcontractor records and the returns that keep your tax clearance in order.
Logistics, food & manufacturing
Stock and margin tracking, vehicle and fuel costs, and payroll for production and transport teams.
Contractors & consultants
Company set-up, salary versus dividends, expenses and director tax returns.
