How the corporate effective rate is achieved

12.5% on trading income (one of EU's lowest). 25% on non-trading (passive/investment). Pillar 2 minimum 15% applies to multinationals with €750m+ revenue.

Alternative residency routes

Resident: 183 days/yr OR 280 days over 2 consecutive years. Domiciled or non-domiciled status crucial — non-doms taxed only on Irish-source income + foreign income remitted.

Notes

EU member, eurozone. Long-running 12.5% rate now subject to 15% Pillar 2 minimum for large groups. Non-dom status remains valuable — Ireland is one of few EU countries with remittance basis.
