Ireland has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world.

Recently, Ireland handed over an amazing GDP report card. Previously, the market expectation was only 7.8% of GDP. At the press conference of the Irish Central Bureau of Statistics, Ireland's GDP growth rate of 20 15 was as high as 26%! According to Statistics Ireland, this? Surprise? Mainly due to the highly open Irish economy, many American companies and Fortune 500 companies have come to avoid taxes. Many companies moved to Ireland through mergers and acquisitions. For example, pharmaceutical companies Barrigo and Jazz moved their headquarters to Ireland in 20 14.

Ireland implements a low tax policy, and the corporate income tax is only 12.5%, which is much more favorable than the corporate income tax of 30-40% in most EU countries. Such a superior tax advantage is extremely rare in developed countries. Therefore, Ireland has become a famous low-tax port, which has great attraction for multinational companies to invest. Personal income tax in Ireland is also very low. According to OECD statistics, the average tax paid by married employees in Ireland is 5% of their total income, ranking seventh among OECD countries.

Local taxes in Ireland are only levied on commercial real estate. Stamp duty is applicable to real estate transfer, property lease and some legal services, and the tax rate is between 1%-9%.

As we all know, the overall investment form of overseas companies investing in immigrants will be greatly influenced by the local tax system. Ireland is a world-famous low-tax region, and many large companies make full use of this to deal with their investment relations, so as to minimize their global tax burden and maximize their benefits!

As ever? European pig country? Ireland has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, and in 20 13, it became the first euro zone country to officially leave the international financial rescue project. However, due to the close relationship between Ireland and Britain, Britain's withdrawal from the European Union made many companies fully determined to move to Ireland.

According to the introduction, the economic recovery is not easy for Ireland, which is far away from the European continent and located in the northwest corner. The Irish Minister of Economy said bluntly that Ireland is a very small country. Compared with other European countries, Ireland has no strong domestic demand to support local economic development. In this sense, Ireland is based on the international market and focuses on serving the whole European continent and even beyond? .

At present, Ireland has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world. Since the end of 1990s, Ireland has adjusted the corporate income tax rate to 12.5%, and it has remained so far. In contrast, the corporate income tax rate in the United States is 35%, without deduction. Even in Europe, Ireland's corporate income tax rate is far below the European average of 23.2%! Such a huge advantage is really worth investing!
