    Hi there,

    I'm starting up a business this month and would like the possibility be able to trade under two different names. The work is similar but aimed at two very different markets, is this possible? Thanks

    ok thanks so register both with the CRO I take it.

    I'm going through the Tax TR1 form and sec A4 (state trading as) has one space to fill out, not too sure what to fill in here, my name or either of the company names??

    cheers

    Not sure if you can register them on the one form I registered names at separate times. Depending on whether it you are register as a sole trader, partnership or vody corproate you use a RNB1, RBN1A or RBN1B from CRO.ie.

    its more the tax registration I'm wondering about as a sole trader with two companies. Do you just fill out the TR1 form as joeblogs and send it in with one of your company names? cheers

    Ring the Revenue just to notify them and then file it with both names on I've always found them incredibly helpful when I have had to call them. As long as you pay the tax due they'll be happy!

    Spider, you need to read up on the CRO website the difference between a sole trade and a company, that is where you are getting confused. From what you've written I suspect you do not have 'companies', you have two business names and there is one entity, which is you - Dan Spider t/a Name 1 and Dan Spider t/a Name 2.
