Barely a week goes by without Ireland’s much published corporate tax rate making the news. Whether it's foreign leaders decrying Ireland’s supposedly unfair tax advantage or yet another corporate giant making Ireland their home, Ireland’s tax rate remains as controversial as ever.
So why does our corporate tax rate generate so many headlines? While Ireland’s 12.5% corporate tax rate is certainly low when compared to the European average of 19.35%, this 12.5% isn’t the lowest in the world. The distinction of the world’s lowest corporate tax rate is shared between Hungary and Montenegro. Both Hungary and Montenegro offer a 9% tax rate to corporations.

Dublin has always been Ireland’s entrepreneurial hub. Almost every industry imaginable operates in Dublin.
Both small businesses, sole traders and huge multinationals call Dublin home. On the surface level, other than being based in Dublin, these different sized businesses may not seem to have all that much in common. But what they all share is a need for professional, experienced and straightforward accounting and bookkeeping services. While massive corporations are in a position to hire on-site accountants the sole trader should be looking at outsourcing their accountancy requirements.

Some of these grants are designed to help new businesses establish themselves in these difficult times and others are designed to help older businesses adapt to the challenges presented by the pandemic.

It’s not an exaggerating to state that how the world works has been forever changed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Only a few short months ago, working from home would have been unthinkable for most people, however, working remotely or e-working has become a reality for much of the country.

The continuing and ever-evolving ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic has left many small businesses struggling to survive.
During the lockdown, industries serviced by sole traders were hit particularly hard. And as more and more counties move from level 2 to level 3 on the national pandemic response scale, more and more sole traders will likely see their business adversely affected by these tightening restrictions.

With the avalanche of changes affecting the Irish taxation system -- not least of all PAYE Modernisation -- there has been a lot of talk about the advantages/disadvantages of accountancy outsourcing.

For what seems like an eternity, Brexit has dominated news headlines all over the world.
The British government lurches from one crisis to another as power plays, partisan politicking and incessant party in-fighting leaves Britain -- and the wider European block -- floundering in a mess of uncertainty.

Is your company ready for Brexit ?
