Jurisdiction overview: Ireland

Ireland is a prestigious European jurisdiction offering one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU and a strong international reputation. Thanks to its common law system, English-speaking environment, and transparent regulatory framework, the country has become a major hub for international companies including Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and numerous startups.

Company registration is available to non-residents and 100% foreign ownership is permitted. Ireland is ideal for high-tech and SaaS companies, as well as for e-commerce, holding structures, and businesses operating in the European market. The country actively supports innovation, and the tax system encourages the development of intellectual property and export businesses.

Ireland also offers broad opportunities for corporate structuring with full legal compliance, making it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for international business within the EU.

Main features of the jurisdiction

  • Legal System: Based on Anglo-Saxon common law, similar to the UK
  • Currency: Euro (EUR), fully integrated into the EU economy
  • Taxes: Corporate tax — 12.5% on trading income; 25% — on passive income and rental income
  • Reporting: Mandatory annual submission of financial statements and tax returns; audit required when certain turnover thresholds are exceeded
  • Confidentiality: Information on directors and shareholders is publicly available; nominee services are possible but restricted by law
  • Regulators: Companies Registration Office (CRO), Revenue Commissioners (tax authority), Central Bank of Ireland (financial regulation)

Ireland is considered one of the best jurisdictions for companies targeting international markets, technological development, and tax optimization within the EU.
