Notable Dublin-based and Ireland-registered companies: tax-efficient EU holding structures and the European HQs of US tech giants.
Ireland's headline 12.5% corporate tax rate on trading income has made Dublin the European HQ of choice for global tech companies including Google, Meta, and Stripe. The Companies Registration Office (CRO) handles incorporation; a standard LTD (private company limited by shares) can be formed online in 5-10 days. The Irish Section 110 SPV regime and access to extensive treaty networks make Ireland popular for holding-company structures. Post-OECD Pillar Two, the 15% minimum applies to very large multinationals but the 12.5% base remains for most Irish-incorporated entities.
