Why Ireland?
For UK businesses, Ireland offers a combination of:

• EU Single Market access
• Eurozone membership
• English speaking workforce
• Proximity to the UK
• An established multinational/business ecosystem
• The ability to maintain the UK business while creating an Irish subsidiary

A UK company can establish an Irish entity to have an EU operating base, rather than moving its entire UK business.

What is corporation tax in Ireland?
Corporation Tax is a tax paid by businesses on the profits they make in Ireland, collected by the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

Ireland’s access to the EU Single Market allows businesses to trade freely across EU member states. Ireland also has a competitive corporation tax rate of 12.5% on trading income, which has helped attract many international companies, including Google, Meta and Apple.

Together, Ireland’s EU access and competitive tax system make it an attractive location for international businesses.

Strict Criteria Required
To benefit from Ireland’s low Corporation Tax rate of only 12.5%, a company must be considered tax resident in Ireland. This is determined by where the company is centrally managed and controlled.

A company should have physical presence in Ireland to support its claim of being tax resident there. If the company is instead based in another country, it will more than likely run the risk of not qualifing as an Irish tax resident, even if it is registered within the EU.

In summary, it is not merely the place of incorporation that determines a company’s eligibility for Ireland’s 12.5% corporation tax rate. Greater emphasis is placed on many other important factors.

At the Mercury Building, we offer a comprehensive turnkey credible solution to support your company or companies in meeting Ireland’s corporation tax requirements.
