Holding Company in the Republic of Ireland Vs. Holding Company in the UK

Holding company in the Republic of Ireland vs. holding company  in the UK: there are distinct differences as well as respective advantages in registering a holding company in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Major corporations, in particular, have been flocking to the Republic in recent years, setting up holding companies to take advantage of one of the lowest tax rates in the Europe, at 12.5 percent, compared to 21 percent in the UK. In setting up a holding company in the Republic of Ireland, a key difference compared to doing the same in the Great Britain is that there must be a minimum of two directors, one of whom must live in the Republic, the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the European Union.

We can provide an official registered office address for holding entity formation purposes. This means clients don't use their actual business address and all correspondence from the authorities will be sent to the official registered address and forwarded on by us.

There are also a number of rules and regulations that must be met when registering a holding company in the ROI, and at Coddan, we can handle all of these matters to make sure the company registration is fully compliant with the law.
