How to apply for a Tax Clearance Certificate
Changes to the HSE’s policy on tax clearance and grant applications mean that ARAs can no longer use Active Retirement Ireland’s tax clearance details and must obtain their own. There is information available on the Revenue website about registering as an unincorporated voluntary body (Form TR3) and applying for a Tax Clearance Certificate. In addition, a members’ ‘How-To’ document has been compiled by Active Retirement Ireland to support ARAs applying for a Tax Clearance Certificate through the Revenue. Read the Tax Clearance for ARAs — the TR3 explained document.
Find out about grants available in your area through your local Public Participation Network (PPN)
Are you part of your local Public Participation Network (PPN)? The PPN is an inclusive national framework that links community or voluntary groups with their local authority, enabling them to engage with local government, find out what is happening in their local area and contribute to better decision making.
The PPN also ensures that local government is keyed in to the concerns, needs and priorities of the communities they serve by providing a forum to gather insights and experiences directly from the community and voluntary groups on the ground.
As well as this, your local PPN can keep you informed about grants available to you and help you to apply. It is so important to be a part of your local PPN.
Each of Ireland’s 31 local authority areas has a PPN, and you can find your local PPN by contacting your county council or by searching ‘Find your local Public Participation Network’ online.
You can find out more about Public Participation Networks Ireland on the Irish Government website.
