• A dashboard detailing current transactions, (e.g. outstanding/incomplete orders; outstanding/disputed invoices; outstanding payments etc.), and useful statistics available upon login
• Review current and historic transactions on orders, invoices and payments using a search facility

Your company’s VAT Registration Number/PPS Number

This must follow the Revenue’s guidelines on format, ie 7 numerics followed by possibly 2 check characters, (eg v1234567TW). If the number contains a country code (commences with an IE or concludes with a .IE) these characters should be removed.

You will need to create a unique user ID. This will be your unique username/user ID and form part of your SSS login details. You will also be asked to provide your contact details and provide a number of security questions and answers. You will also be asked to create a password.You will be guided as to the strength of the password as you enter password characters. Weak passwords will not be allowed. Your password must be at least 6 characters. To increase the strength of the password use non alpha-numeric characters, e.g. £, $, €, mix case and numeric characters. 

Once you provide a password of at least minimum strength, proceed onto the next stage, which is to confirm this password. Your password will be used to log into the (opens in a new window)SSS portal.

Once you submit a successful registration, we need to validate your account details. Once this has been completed you will receive an email notification and can then access the SSS system fully.
