    This would be great if we did sign up. Our company would save three or four thousand euro a year by not having to submit accounts…money I’d gladly reinvest in even part time employment for someone.
    Over to you Mr Noonan…

    Exactly, small businesses aren’t going to hoard any money they make – they’ll put it all back into circulation one way or another

    this is good news. without knowing the. details it appears that it will have 3 benefits. it will lift most small companies out of the requirement for an audit. this will translate to a cost saving probably not in the magnitude tony expressed but a saving nevertheless. The other benefit is that it will remove from public record your accounts. as regards implementation there is a companies bill somewhere in the govt. work program so hopefully this will find its way onto it.

    This would be a wonderful development. It is ridiculous to be paying accountants to show the govt you don’t need to pay tax. It’s an utter waste of money and a heavy burden on small business.
