Re: Tiltware relocating to Ireland...
they are probably making a mistake. i had 2 different law firms review which countries were preferable to locate my parent company. the problem with ireland is that the irish tax authorities refuse to define "goods and services". therefore, they may only mean manufacturing, software and other intellectual property make be taxed at a higher rate. until the irish tax authorities define "goods and services" luxembourg seems superior. to date there are indications that they only mean manufacturing in ireland . the EU is currently trying to get them to define it. the other problem with ireland is that doing any busies there can be time consuming - the culture seems anti-business. i know many major companies have relocated there/or have major divisions there, but according to the opinion i paid for lreland's laws are currently "grey".
