Tomkins & Ireland - An Ideal Abode For Your Intellectual Property

A corporate tax rate as low as 2.5% when IP activities are located in Ireland, makes this a uniquely attractive proposition for IP-based businesses that enjoy significant IP royalty flows.

The Irish Government focuses on three key economic drivers: High Value Manufacturing, Global Services and RD&I (Research Development and Innovation). With Tomkins as your IP partner, it makes great sense to locate your IP business in Ireland.

Your RD&I and Our Global Services = A Mighty Combination

Tomkins handles every stage of the process for you. We set up an Irish company, typically as a head office, which then manages aspects of your IP such as licensing, brand portfolio and patent portfolio. We help ensure full compliance with Irish tax rules, and we ensure a seamless IP operation.

Because we have specialised exclusively in IP for over 80 years, our in-depth expertise will ensure that you derive maximum benefit from Ireland’s favourable tax regime. Tomkins offers a genuine one-stop shop IP solution: establishing appropriate business vehicles, aiding compliance fulfilment, and providing the IP expertise required to operate your business from Ireland.
