Business Permission Available for non EEA Nationals

michaelomahony — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:16:54 +0000

I had an excellent meeting today in Dublin with a new client who Iam helping with his ‘business permission’application. The client is a non EEA national I.e. from outside the EU plus Norway,Iceland & Liechtenstein.

Our role involved the preparation of business plans for the proposed retail business in central Dublin, along with qualifying the businesses potential for providing employment for two EEA nationals and initial capital transfer to the state of €300,000, being the minimum requirement.

One of the positives of investing at this time in an Irish retail business is that property prices, rents & leases are at a low which should add potential for future gains and/or increased trading profits.

DEADLINE NEAR FOR TAX EXEMPT IRISH LIMITED COMPANIES

michaelomahony — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:16:44 +0000

The tax free threshold of 0% corporate tax which applies to Irish Limited Companies that are incorporated and begin trading no later than 31/12/2009 will soon arrive. This deadline is further shortened by the CRO (company registration office) christmas opening times. They can only guarantee new company applications received by 14/12/2009 will be processed before 31/12/2009. To meet the criteria as incorporated and having begun trading during 2009 a tax registration application also has to be submitted. This can only be done after the company is incorporated. It is therefore vital that these applications are made now, preferably in November, to ensure you meet the above conditions.
