Ireland in brief
EU registration with partnership taxation.
Ireland is the EU's English-speaking success story - home to the European headquarters of half of Silicon Valley, a common-law system, and a corporate brand banks and marketplaces trust on sight. Alongside its famous 12.5% companies sits a lesser-known tool: the Limited Partnership, registered at the CRO under a statute dating back to 1907 and prized for what it does not do.
An LP is not a taxpayer: profits pass straight to the partners and are taxed where those partners live. When the partners are non-residents and the income arises outside Ireland, Irish tax simply does not attach - and in the standard structure the partnership publishes no accounts and files no annual return. What remains is the upside: an EU-registered entity with Dublin paperwork, ideal for e-commerce, services and trading businesses that want European legitimacy without a European tax bill.
Ireland pairs an EU brand banks trust with a lesser-known tool: the Limited Partnership. Registered at the CRO, common law, English documents - and prized for what it does not do.
The LP pays no tax itself: profits pass to the partners and are taxed where they live. Non-resident partners with foreign income owe Ireland nothing, and the standard structure publishes no accounts.

What Irish law actually demands.
01

No director requirement - An LP has no directors or secretary; the general partner manages the business directly.
03
Capital - No minimum. The limited partner contributes a nominal agreed amount stated in the LP1.
04
Registered address - A principal place of business in Ireland is required for registration. We provide it as part of the package.
05
Name - A distinguishable name ending in Limited Partnership or LP, cleared at the CRO.
06
Records - The partnership agreement and basic records are kept privately; changes are filed at the CRO, accounts are not.

Taxation 2026
Transparent by design.
An Irish LP pays no tax itself - profits flow through to the partners and are taxed where the partners are resident. With non-resident partners and no Irish-source income, Ireland levies nothing on the partnership's trading profits.The LP pays no tax itself; partners are taxed where they live. Foreign income of non-resident partners - 0% in Ireland.
Entity-level tax - none
The LP is not a taxpayer; Ireland's 12.5% corporate rate belongs to companies, not transparent partnerships.The 12.5% belongs to companies, not transparent LPs.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
The Irish LP, in working questions.
Can I open an Irish LP without visiting Ireland?+
Yes. Everything from KYC to the CRO filing runs remotely with electronic signatures; originals arrive by courier after registration.
How much does it cost?+
Turnkey registration starts from €2,200 including state fees, the partnership agreement and the first year of the registered address. With an account arranged, packages start from €3,900.
How is an LP taxed at 0%?+
A partnership is fiscally transparent - it pays no tax itself. Profits belong to the partners, and when the partners are non-residents and the income arises outside Ireland, there is nothing for Ireland to tax. Partners declare income where they live; we map that before you commit.
Why do I need two partners?+
The 1907 Act requires a general partner, who manages and carries liability, and a limited partner, whose liability is capped at the contribution. One person cannot hold both roles, so we typically add a corporate partner - yours or one we provide - to complete the structure.
Does the LP publish accounts?+
In the standard non-resident structure - no: the partnership files no annual return and publishes no financial statements. Bookkeeping is still kept privately for the partners and banks.
How long does registration take?+
The CRO processes clean filings within about a week; with the agreement, address and apostilled documents the full file completes in one to two weeks.
Will EU marketplaces and PSPs accept it?+
Yes - that is the point. An Irish-registered entity with a Dublin address onboards with Amazon Europe, Stripe and EU acquirers as smoothly as any local company, which non-EU structures cannot match.
Do I need Irish VAT?+
Only if you sell into the EU above thresholds or hold stock there - then we register the LP for VAT and set up OSS where useful. Pure exports and non-EU business stay outside the system.
Irish LP or UK LLP?+
Both are transparent with 0% for non-residents. The UK LLP must publish annual accounts; the Irish LP publishes nothing - and it carries EU registration, which the UK lost. The LLP counters with a slicker registry and separate legal personality. Whether public accounts bother you usually settles it.
What happens after registration each year?+
The registered address renewal and keeping the agreement and records current - no annual return, no accounts filing in the standard setup. We run the calendar for you.
