Must a school register for ROS (Revenue Online Services)?

Yes, as schools are employers and also principal contractors, they must be registered with ROS for payroll deductions and also for RCT and VAT returns.  It is no longer possible to file paper returns with revenue.

How do schools register for ROS?

Schools should apply online via Revenue.ie, ROS Registrations. There are three steps:

  1. Apply for ROS Access Number (RAN)
  2. Apply for your Digital Certificate
  3. Download and Save your Digital Certificate
