How Ian is building a better working world
"My specialisation in the provision of R&D tax services across large private and public multinational companies and SMEs has helped clients claiming R&D credits to include cash refunds on their qualifying R&D expenditure. I worked on numerous tax planning projects advising on post-acquisition structuring of international operations. With a focus on the Irish 12.5% corporate tax rate, the Irish patent regime, Irish holding company regime and various other domestic tax reliefs, I contribute significantly to building a better working world."
