VAT/CRO num on website

GoneShootin

Is there any requirement for a company to list their CRO/VAT numbers on their website? I've seen a few with CRO on the footer...

As far as I know it only applies to registered companies, so sole traders, partnerships etc., might be excluded

I think if you're a registered company in Ireland but one of your Directors is a non-national, you also need to publicly display this information. Not 100% on that though.

European Communities (Companies) Regulations 1973
Regulation 3
These regulations apply to every company, being a company registered under the Act with limited liability or an unregistered company with limited liability to which certain provisions are applied by section 377 (1) of the Act, and the terms "company" and "unregistered company" shall be construed accordingly.

Regulation 9
(1) Every company shall have the following particulars on its letters and order forms—
(a) the place of registration of the company and the number with which it is registered;

So that looks to be a yes.

2) in respect of every director and shadow director of the company –
(a) his/her present Christian name (forename), or the initials thereof and
surname;
(b) his/her former Christian name (forename) and surname; and
(c) his/her nationality if not Irish3;

is that not pointless? maybe for a public company, it's a good idea, but if one of my directors for my limited company is a yank, what difference does it make?

Lovely hurling - that's exactly what I was looking for.

Don't get VAT number confused with CRO number. VAT numbers only need to appear on VAT invoices/transactions, not on your website.
