R&D Tax Enquiry Ireland Support

Produced by FI Group’s international incentives team, the guide brings together the insight of specialists working day to day with R&D tax incentives, innovation grants and IP boxes in multiple jurisdictions. It is written for senior finance and tax leaders who need a clear view of effective benefit rates, compliance risk and interactions with local accounting and Pillar Two.

Inside the guide you will find:

• Concise country profiles covering the main R&D tax incentives in each jurisdiction.
• Comparable data on incentive types, typical benefit levels and qualifying activities.
• Commentary on how R&D tax reliefs interact with grants, innovation loans and IP regimes.
• Red flag areas for CFOs, including audit trends, documentation expectations and common errors.
• Practical tips on coordinating incentives across subsidiaries to avoid double counting and missed value.

Use the International R&D Tax Incentives Guide as the starting point for your global incentives strategy.

Many Irish R&D claimants are part of global groups that also claim incentives in other countries. Revenue enquiries in one jurisdiction can prompt questions elsewhere if not handled consistently.

Through FI Group’s international network, our R&D tax credits Ireland enquiry support can:

• Align Irish responses with R&D incentive positions in other territories.
• Check that the same costs are not being defended as qualifying in multiple regimes in conflicting ways.
• Coordinate messaging between local finance teams and group tax.
• Help HQ build a single view of enquiry risk and potential impact on global innovation funding.

Your HQ sees the full picture. Your Irish teams receive local, on the ground support from specialists who understand both Irish Revenue expectations and international R&D incentives practice.
