You need to fill out form TR1 at your local tax office to register for tax.

You will need to also register for VAT if your extra income is likely to be over €28,000.

The Revenue site has plenty of information and guides. Check there first

You can download the form from the Revenue web site. It also covers VAT.

Also look into registering online for VAT and tax returns on www.ros.ie.

Company formation is more complex and may not be what you need to do.

What kind of work are you thinking of doing?
