Our Tax capability in Ireland
As a member of the EU, which offers the free movement of goods, people and capital within the EU, Ireland represents an attractive onshore location, with a prudent but flexible regulatory environment and offers a competitive physical and commercial framework in which to do business. Ireland’s success as a location for FDI has been driven by its competitive tax regime and extensive double tax treaty network. Ireland has a tax efficient regime for international financial services companies, particularly in the area of funds where it is a favoured jurisdiction for the administration and management of funds in Europe. There is also a very efficient regime for structured finance transactions including securitiZations, aircraft leasing and other asset financing. All of these factors leave Ireland ideally placed to provide a low corporation tax rate profit centre for the European/EMEA operations of multinational companies - and as a leading team in this area of law, we are ideally placed to help you mitigate risk and capitalize on opportunity.
