We advise on tax issues arising for employees and others in relocating to Ireland or working in Ireland for part of the year. We advise on pension obligations and options. We advise on share-based remuneration possibilities.
We work with clients’ UK or associated Irish tax advisers where applicable, with a view to optimising the overall taxation position for corporate groups.
