Use this form or another form?
| Situation | Likely form | Why it matters | Check before you continue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income Declaration | Form 12 (Example) | If you are reporting standard annual income instead of a specific event. | Check if your issue is general vs. specific. |
| Business Change Notice | CRO Form B1/B2 | If the change relates specifically to the Companies Registration Office registry, but Revenue needs notification. | See what type of entity change you are reporting. |
| VAT Adjustment | Form 3 (Example) | If your declaration is purely about VAT adjustments and not a broader tax event. | Confirm if the primary focus is VAT or overall tax obligation. |
| Employment Status Change | Not confirmed in official source | Use this if changing employment status requires notification to Revenue, but Form 11 isn't explicitly named for it. | Verify the exact nature of your change. |
