Ireland has a broad range of taxes, reliefs and exemptions that should be considered when reviewing your business activities. Tax planning should take account of the various taxes your business pays, such as tax on profits, VAT and payroll taxes. Examples of matters you should be addressing include:

• What is your effective tax rate, and could it be lower?
• Are there tax efficient options for investing profits e.g. green energy products with increased deductions, pensions?
• Can you avail of the generous Research & Development tax credit scheme?
• Are you applying the accruals or cash basis in your VAT accounting?
• Are there any industry specific VAT schemes available?
• Can you manage your billing to reduce the VAT rate charged to your clients?
• Are you rewarding employees in a tax efficient manner?
• Have you the right business structure in place for your exit?
