🇮🇪 Ireland
Ireland uses a tax credit system rather than a personal allowance. The single person tax credit is €1,775/year, effectively making the first €8,875 tax-free at the 20% rate. USC (Universal Social Charge) is a separate progressive charge on all income. PRSI is 4% with no cap. Ireland's 12.5% corporate tax rate attracts major tech companies (Google, Meta, Apple), creating a strong job market for expats.

Ireland's income tax system has two rates: 20% on income up to a threshold and 40% above. The Universal Social Charge (USC) and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) add further deductions. Despite these layers, Ireland's effective tax rates remain competitive for higher earners compared to continental Europe. The Special Assignee Relief Programme (SARP) offers tax relief for employees assigned to work in Ireland. Dublin has become a major European technology hub hosting the European headquarters of many US multinationals.
