Company incorporation in Ireland
Why choose Dublin as a business location?
Overview of Ireland
Ireland is a member of the European Union and the euro zone, with dynamic economic growth of 6.3%. GDP per capita rose from 69% to 144% of the eurozone average between 1990 and 2007.
In the IMF’s ranking of nominal GDP per capita, Ireland ranks 5th, and 6th in terms of purchasing power parity.
Services account for 72.8% of GDP, industry for 25.6% and agriculture for just 1.6%.
Ireland has an excellent labor market, with an unemployment rate of just 5.8%, and two-thirds of new jobs are created in the first five years of a new company’s existence.
It’s a stable jurisdiction, with an excellent reputation and a real calling card for companies.
Favourable conditions for setting up a company
Ireland’s particularly attractive tax environment, coupled with less stringent legal and social provisions for Company incorporation, make it one of the most favorable destinations for investors.
Indeed, Ireland follows the same process as the UK, but the administrative steps are much simpler and quicker thanks to a fairly recent update of company laws.
These provisions encourage entrepreneurial initiative, which made a major contribution to Ireland’s economic recovery from the 2008 financial crisis.
The number of startups is increasing by 25% every year, and it is estimated that over 3,000 startups were created in 2015. In its “Doing Business” report, the World Bank ranks Ireland as the 8th best country in the world in which to set up a business.
Dublin, Silicon Docks
New technologies are a key element underpinning the Irish economy, particularly e-commerce and FinTech.
Ireland’s capital, Dublin, attracts a large number of small businesses and international groups specializing in technology and the Internet.
In fact, it’s this very attractiveness that has enabled Silicon Docks to set up shop here. Today, the Dublin district is home to some fifty high-tech companies.
For example, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter, Airbnb, Linkedin and eBay already have their international headquarters in Dublin.
The advantage of proximity
Less than 2 hours’ flight from Paris, Dublin is a prime location for setting up a company.
Thanks to this proximity, it’s quick and easy to get back and forth, enabling efficient management of the Irish company, even from a distance.
What’s more, Ireland is a great place to live, with an abundance of nature, a welcoming population, dynamic cities and a business culture based on the British model.
Advantageous tax strategies
As a member of the European Union, Ireland is not considered a tax haven.
However, it used to offer highly advantageous conditions to multinationals, thanks to tax arrangements such as double irish*.
Despite the official end of this type of arrangement in 2020, other equally advantageous strategies remain, such as the Knowledge Development Box, focused on intellectual property, with a 6.25% tax rate that has already applied since 2016.
This is a derogatory rate exclusive to R&D expenditure carried out in the country of tax residence, in line with the requirements of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Taxation in Ireland
In addition to holding companies, setting up a company in Ireland as a head office or trading center with Europe offers significant advantages for any business activity.
Ireland is ranked as the 4th most tax-friendly country in the world.
Taxation is low, at 12.5%, one of the lowest rates in Europe. Increase in corporate income tax scheduled for 2023.
It should be noted that under recent measures taken by the Irish government, companies benefit from a total tax exemption for the first three financial years. Please note that this measure, like others on this page, is subject to change over time.
Ireland has signed double taxation agreements with over 70 countries, enabling investors to avoid being taxed twice, in Ireland and in the country of tax residence.
As a result, the State does not apply withholding tax to nationals of those countries that have signed such agreements with Ireland, nor to Eurozone countries.
What are the other advantages?
Setting up a Company incorporation in Dublin offers a number of other significant advantages:
- no business tax;
- management in Euro ;
- a European VAT number that guarantees access to Europe;
- no requirement to pay up share capital – the minimum amount is €1;
- access to a credible financial center;
- the possibility of setting up a company in just a few days at an unbeatable price on our website
- the legal form used is the Private Limited Company, with limited shareholder liability.
Irish companies are required to keep up to date accounts. It is also necessary to make an annual declaration of these accounts to the tax authorities. We can take care of this for you.
What legal form should I choose for my company in Ireland?
Foreign investors wishing to set up a company in Ireland can opt for one of the following legal forms:
- public limited company ;
- branch office ;
- limited partnership;
- private limited companies.
The Private Company Limited by Shares is the most widely used legal form. It is recognized by the terminology Private Limited or Pte Ltd.
The main features of the Ltd
Below are the characteristics of this Irish company:
- it is a company limited by shares;
- a single shareholder is sufficient, and may be an individual or a company;
- one director is sufficient, and must be a member of the European Economic Area;
- a secretary must be appointed. He is in charge of the company’s legal obligations, and is not required to be resident in Ireland;
- no minimum share capital is required at the time of formation;
- shares cannot be transferred or subscribed for by the public;
- the Irish company must have its registered office in Ireland;
- accounts must be registered with the Registrar of Companies;
- an annual audit must be carried out for companies with sales in excess of 7.3 million euros, balance sheet total in excess of 3.65 million euros, and more than 50 employees.
The Irish company registration procedure
As mentioned above, the Companies Act, the main document governing Companies incorporation in Ireland, was recently updated in 2014.
This new law simplifies registration procedures and prescribes new types of Irish limited liability company.
A set of documents must be submitted to the Corporate Registration Office with the completed Form A1, via an online business platform (CORE).
The application must include a number of important details, including the company’s trading name.
To be eligible, it must be unique, specific and meet legal requirements.
Once chosen, the company name must be reserved with the Irish Registrar of Companies.
Next, the owners must provide an official address in a suitable location, and then draw up the company’s statutory documents.
What are the deadlines?
Even if registering an Irish company can be done online on our website, the ordinary procedure remains an option for investors who wish to set up their company in person.
In this case, they can visit the offices set up for this purpose, or appoint legal representatives.
Of course, procedural delays are generally longer than with the online procedure, but the time required to incorporate an Irish company remains relatively short.
Here are the approximate times involved in the main stages of Company incorporation in Dublin:
- incorporation of the company
- submission of original corporate documents ;
Why entrust your Company incorporation project in Dublin to a professional?
Company incorporation in Ireland is affordable, especially if you entrust your project to a professional specialized in European company incorporation.
We can offer you a Company incorporation package in Ireland for €1,192 + VAT, including banking introduction* at Fire or Bank Of Ireland (BOI). As an option, we can also offer you a bank introduction* without having to travel!…
