International Expansion
Cross-border setup and tax structuring for businesses moving from Ireland into the EU and beyond.
Expanding into a new country multiplies your obligations. Whether you are moving into the EU single market or further afield, there are VAT registration, permanent-establishment and transfer-pricing questions to answer first. Large groups also need to watch the 15% global minimum tax (Pillar Two). We work through those questions with you before you commit, then handle the structure and its ongoing compliance.

What you should know
Trading into another country rarely means one new obligation; it usually means several at once. Selling goods or services across the EU can trigger a VAT registration abroad or bring you into the OSS/IOSS regime, and putting people or a fixed place of business on the ground can create a permanent establishment that’s taxable there. Get the structure wrong early and it’s slow and costly to unwind.
For larger groups there’s Pillar Two on top: a 15% global minimum effective tax rate for groups with consolidated turnover above €750m, now in force across the EU. Ireland keeps its 12.5% headline rate, but big groups pay a top-up to reach 15%. We map the VAT, permanent-establishment, transfer-pricing and treaty questions before you move, then set the structure up and keep it compliant.
