Tax system in Ireland

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.
