Irish Tonnage Tax Regime
The Irish tonnage tax regime is based on the tonnage of the vessel, which coupled with a 12.5% corporate tax rate on fixed profits, means a low effective tax rate. Ireland is a politically stable, English speaking Eurozone member state, our beneficial tonnage tax regime is yet another reason to establish a maritime operation in the Irish market.
