VAT Registration
Part of our Ireland company formation service is to register your company for VAT if you so desire.
Ireland is an extremely hospitable environment for incorporating a business as a result of its low 12.5% corporate tax rate for companies that have an active trade located here. Ireland has long been the source of criticism by the EU for maintaining such advantageous rates in spite of EU pressure to raise them, but the Emerald Isle has held this competitive rate, which has been largely responsible for consistently bringing goliaths to the island such as Apple, Facebook, PayPal, Airbnb, Microsoft, Twitter, eBay, LinkedIn, and many others.Small companies can also benefit from this regime, as well from several other favorable advantages to running one’s business from Éire.
We will incorporate your Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD) or
Designated Activity Company (DAC) for you (see FAQs for differences). In addition to this, we can assist you with all other aspects of starting and running a business from the hospitable island of Ireland.
Ireland offers a flat rate of 12.5% corporate taxes on all trading profits (and as low as 0% for certain companies who meet specific conditions — until 2022). For holding companies, the tax benefits are even greater. Holding companies do not have to withhold taxes on disbursed dividends to EU or tax-treaty countries. (Ireland has about 70 tax treaties in place.) There are no transfer pricing or thin capitalisation restrictions in place for holding companies. As for private limited companies by shares, there is no need for a director to be physically present in Ireland. In 2014, Forbes ranked Ireland as the number one place in the world to do business.
