Bonjour, Je viens d'arriver en Irlande. Je souhaite m'inscrire comme self-employed. Je suis en train de remplir le formulaire TR1. Dois-je demander un numéro de TVA ? Je travaille avec des clients en UE et parfois hors UE. Merci pour votre aide.

In the forums there are many stories where EU customers wouldn't pay translators before they would show a valid VAT number, because of their own "rules" or "processes". Those agencies don't seem to know that in some EU countries, you don't necessarily need a VAT number to do business legally across Europe.
So I would apply for a VAT number, if only to avoid potential payment issues and headaches later.

However since you are new to Ireland, I would strongly advise you to look for a small, friendly accountant. You need get all this right, before you start.
Fáilte go hÉirinn !

I do not really need to have a VAT number. But one of my clients (Recruitment agency) ask for one to be sure you have a real company. In France, I did not need one as I was not exceeding a certain turnover. But I asked for one (and I got it) as that client asked for it. Thanks for all your replies !
