    What/if any are the implications of using your home address as sole trader business address?

    Has it anything to do with the County Council? Rates? or is it Revenue?

    I was told to check it out before registering, but i'm not sure what i'm looking for.

    Thanks in advance.

    I registered at a home address and have had no problems.

    No issues with using your home address for a business registration. The problems start when you start using your actual home to conduct business activities.

    Is there something about capital gains tax if you sell you home at a later stage. Anyone any experience of this?

    That's only an issue if you claim part of your rent or mortgage as a business expense.

    if you carry out business services from your home, say Physiotherapy or hairdressing etc, you need planning permission, are liable for commercial rates etc etc... that is what I mean.

    Only if you have dedicated business facilities there. If you just "work from home" then you don't necessarily have to pay rates.

    If you register your home and operate from there meetings with the Revenue will take place there.
