Ireland is home to a large number of US technology companies including Microsoft, Google, AOL, Intel & Dell. There are a number of key reasons why these companies originally decided to locate in Ireland. Ireland has proven to be the most “US friendly” country in Europe. The Irish business climate and work culture is the closest in Europe to that of the US. It is an English speaking country that has the Euro as its base currency. Ireland’s employment legislation is the closest in Europe to that of America.Tax policy has always been a central decision to US companies deciding to locate in Ireland.

The Corporation Tax rate in Ireland is a flat 12.5% on all trading income. It is estimated that US corporations using Ireland as a tax planning location have saved €10 billion in taxes. US companies are taxable in the US on their worldwide incomes, but tax planning allows companies to only be subject to US taxes on profits actually repatriated from Ireland back to the US. The difference between effective tax rates of 35% and 12.5% is very dramatic to the bottom line performance of any business. No amount of operational efficiencies can yield the same savings as an effective tax structure. Ireland offers an excellent proposition for the creation of a highly efficient tax structure.
