The exact change

Before

Ireland has no capital gains tax on qualifying share disposals between Irish group companies, extensive DTA network, and specific regimes for IP (Knowledge Development Box at 6.25 percent on qualifying IP income).

After

Ireland has no capital gains tax on qualifying share disposals between Irish group companies, extensive DTA network, and specific regimes for IP (Knowledge Development Box at 10 percent on qualifying IP income, raised from 6.25 percent effective October 2023).

Suggested change

Corrected Irish VAT registration thresholds and the Knowledge Development Box (KDB) tax rate, which had been stated as 6.25% instead of the correct 10%.

Why this is better

The Knowledge Development Box rate on qualifying IP income was stated at the old pre-October-2023 rate of 6.25 percent instead of the current 10 percent rate.
