Company in Ireland for ecommerce?

[banafinfodafuggiano]

I live outside Europe, I'm a EU citizen.


1) Am I able to open a company in Ireland if I provide them with my local spanish bank statement and ID?

2) will Ireland withold any extra tax on top of the 12.5 corporate tax, since they presume I'm a Spain Resident? (I'm not)

3) will the company have to pay payroll tax or not since I'm not an Ireland resident? only pay corporate tax in Ireland and that's it?

There must be at least one EU/EEA resident director. As long as you satisfy that, you're fine.

You may be hit with the 25% CIT instead if your operations are entirely outside of Ireland.

Payroll taxes and similar taxes would not ordinarily apply if you are a non-resident receiving dividends.

This is the probably the answer to your question.

UK LTD has 25% corporation tax, ireland half (12.5%).

i was looking for a company able to process all yearly payments, pay corporate tax, then send to my self a whole Dividend with all profits.

If I have let's say 5% of customers within Ireland, and 95% from the UK/USA, will I still be able to get charged 12.5% corporate tax? is it worth trying?



okay, so salary is not possible to pay it out? only dividends ?

It's not about where the customers are based. It's where operations take place.

Ireland has written laws specifically against what you want to do. They don't want companies like yours. Pick another jurisdiction.

They can be 0 tax, search a bit around the forum.

Can pay a bond (iirc about 2k) if this condition can't be met.

You can, but you end up paying 25% CIT instead of 12.50%. To get to 12.50%, you need to have a presence in Ireland.

And chances are that none of those banks will accept you, unless you have a meaningful presence in Ireland.

You can get 12.50% in Cyprus, and 5% in Malta. Both of which cater better to non-residents.

Same as any other EU member state in most cases.
