If you are a UK-based company and you want to relocate to Ireland to take advantage of the lower corporation tax rate of 12.5%, it is possible to do so, but you will need to follow certain procedures.

Firstly, you will need to register your company in Ireland and ensure that you comply with all the legal requirements for setting up a business in Ireland. This will include registering your company with the Irish Companies Registration Office and obtaining the necessary licenses and permits to operate your business in Ireland.

Once your company is registered in Ireland, you will be subject to Irish corporation tax on your profits at the rate of 12.5%. However, it is important to note that you may still be liable for UK corporation tax on any profits earned in the UK, depending on the circumstances of your business.

If this was true then why bother with 12.5% tax in Ireland when you could have opened company in Isle of Man and pay 0% corp tax?

If top management (you) is resident in the UK then that company will be deemed as if being in the UK for tax reasons, that’s why, otherwise everybody who got foreign clients would dodge heavy UK corp taxation.

If you become tax resident of Ireland then you should be ok, but if you stay UK resident then it won’t be so good

Excellent news for pension planning

Exactly what I was thinking. Was already torn between BADR and paying remaining LTD profits to pension now the outside roles seem to be drying up (Change BA in FS). How on earth do you act on this when they're both u-turning or threatening to reverse every 5mins!
