Ireland is a gateway to Europe for 100s of multi-national businesses looking to develop. The decision to expand a business into another jurisdiction requires careful consideration of the taxation and accounting compliance implications arising from this move.

At BCA, we provided expert local advice to numerous international companies on establishing Ireland as a base for their overseas operations.
