International Tax Services
Operating across borders creates tax obligations that are rarely simple and frequently misunderstood. The interaction between Irish tax law and the rules of other jurisdictions — on corporate structure, transfer pricing, withholding taxes and treaty relief — requires careful planning from the outset. Exposure identified late is considerably more expensive to address than exposure avoided early.
Merry Mullen assists businesses on tax issues across arising on cross-border situations, from businesses investing in Ireland for the first time to Irish businesses expanding into new markets. Through our membership of GMNI we work directly with experienced local advisers in 49 countries, ensuring the advice we provide accounts for the requirements of each relevant jurisdiction rather than Ireland in isolation.
