Irish company structures for international clients

Forming a local Irish company or branch company in Ireland helps international clients to shift some of their profits to Ireland (e.g. from intellectual property, leasing). Such structures benefit from low corporation tax rate (12,5%) and also Ireland's access to an extensive double taxation treaty network. Well known companies like Microsoft, Google and Dell are prominent examples for using Irish company structures. Shift profits to Ireland
Establishing a substantial business presence in Ireland: Once upon a time a simple company formation using the office address of a local solicitor created at least some sort of Irish entity (a.k.a. "Brass Plate Operation"). These times are gone since a while. Today, an Irish holding company needs a more sophisticated setup:
  • Management separate from any other group company, preferable based in Ireland.
  • Business decisions should be made within the Republic of Ireland.
  • Irish corporate bank account
  • Local Irish phone number, preferable entered in the directory.
  • Call answering during Irish business hours.
  • A real office, preferable with rental agreement.
  • Irish accountants / solicitors.
  • Business contracts signed in Ireland.
  • Local suppliers.
  • Irish Employees.
