Thursday, November 12th, 2009

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.

It is therefore vital that these applications are made now, preferably in November, to ensure you meet the above conditions.
