Sensitive third-country investments face screening
Ireland’s screening regime began on 6 January 2025 and examines national-security and public-order risks. Check whether the transaction meets the notification tests before completion.
€50 electronic incorporation fee
This is the A1 filing fee. Registered-office, professional and ongoing filing costs are separate.
12.5% trading income · 25% non-trading income
Rental and investment income, and income from excepted trades, fall under the 25% rate. Check separately whether large-group minimum-tax rules apply.

Software and engineering businesses can investigate collaborations for specific clinical applications.
An overseas company registers its Irish branch with CRO within 30 days. Branches under a unified management structure can share one registration; separate management structures need separate registrations.
A foreign company can operate through an Irish branch instead of a new company. It registers with the Companies Registration Office on Form F13 (non-EEA) or F12 (EEA) and files its parent’s accounts.
Prepare the constitution, Irish registered office and officer details for incorporation. A sole director cannot also act as the company secretary.
A €25,000 bond or a qualifying section 140 certificate can replace the EEA-resident-director requirement. A UK address alone is not EEA residence.
These standard annual salary floors took effect on 1 March 2026. Occupation, qualification and route-specific conditions still apply; some categories have different thresholds.
Prepare certified parent constitutional and registration documents and the required accounts. Documents not in Irish or English need a certified translation; authentication depends on the relevant convention or exemption.
Select the appropriate company type before preparing the filing because constitutional requirements differ.
National observations help frame the market. They do not measure demand for your specific product.
