About

Provided by Mason Hayes & Curran LLP

Our Tax team comprises internationally experienced tax law partners and professionals and provides pragmatic solutions and risk-based advice on significant corporate and financial transactions to international and domestic clients.


We set ourselves apart by virtue of our subject matter and deep industry-sector expertise in tax matters across the firm’s key sectors including technology, life sciences, energy, built environment and financial services.


We regularly work with other practice areas within the firm, as well as tax counsel from overseas practices on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, joint ventures, investments, debt and equity capital markets, securitisations and investment funds.


Ireland’s membership of the EU, its regulatory regime, the 12.5% corporate tax rate, various tax credit relief regimes and tax exemptions in respect of certain activities provides a unique platform to structure international business in and through Irish corporate and other vehicles.


We advise on:

  • Structuring multinational corporate activities in and through Ireland
  • Use of Ireland as a location to build and develop an EMEA hub
  • Ireland as a location for intellectual property
  • Financial services tax
  • Real estate tax
  • Structuring acquisition and disposal of distressed debt
  • Double taxation treaty interpretation issues
  • Employee benefits and packages
  • VAT
  • Transactional taxes e.g. capital gains tax, stamp duty
