Hand-curated structure profiles of 10 companies registered in Ireland, the entity type, the registration jurisdiction, ownership and the people on the filings. From Alphabet and Meta to Stripe, OpenAI and Anthropic.
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.
The formation guide walks through LLC versus C-Corp, the EIN application, registered agents, franchise tax and BOI reporting.
