IE desk · India–Ireland
An Irish company is an Irish taxpayer. Indian residents who own it, work for it, or receive dividends still have Indian tax and FEMA work to do. A CRO number does not make the income tax-free in India.
What this file usually covers
- India–Ireland Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement — dividends, interest, royalties, and business profits follow treaty articles and beneficial-ownership tests.
- Permanent establishment risk if the Irish company is managed from India or has a dependent agent in India.
- Form 15CA/CB and withholding when an Indian company pays the Irish entity for services, royalties, or interest.
- FEMA outbound investment when Indian residents subscribe to Irish share capital or send share-application money.
- NRI or Irish-resident individuals — split-year, residence tie-breaker, and Indian foreign-asset reporting where required.
- Transfer pricing if associated Indian and Irish entities trade goods, services, IP, or intra-group finance.
How we keep both files on the same facts
- 1List owners, directors, where decisions are made, and every India–Ireland payment.
- 2Characterise dividends, services, royalties, and finance under the DTAA.
- 3Align Revenue numbers, Indian ITR, 15CA/CB, and FEMA papers.
- 4Review PE and residence if people or contracts move mid-year.

India–Ireland Cross-Border Tax FAQs
No. Indian residents remain taxable on worldwide income unless a specific exemption applies. Treaty relief under the India–Ireland DTAA, PE analysis, dividend characterisation, and FEMA ODI reporting still apply. We coordinate both files.
