Tax
Our tax regime is one of the most favourable in the world. We’re famous for our 12.5% corporate tax rate. This rate combined with our intellectual property and research and development regimes creates lots of opportunities for your business to reduce its effective tax rate.


Talent
Our workforce is well-educated and one of the youngest in Europe. We are experienced in helping multinationals already here to grow and expand. We’re keen to learn, progress and not afraid to work hard. We’re also renowned for attracting talent from the EU and beyond. We look forward to welcoming you.


Track record

You can also connect easily to Asia in the morning and the US in the afternoon!


Cost competitiveness
Reducing costs in property, rents, services, construction and labour make Ireland an increasingly attractive investment location. The availability of business incentives and grants also adds to our competitiveness.
