R&D Tax Credits

Many businesses are unaware of the R&D Tax Credit that can be accessed by companies undertaking new or additional R&D activity in Ireland. This 25% tax credit, designed to encourage R&D, covers wages, equipment, buildings and overhead costs in relation to R&D activity.

Westboro Partners have submitted a number of R&D tax credit claims on behalf of our clients, and have gathered experience and expertise in this area in a number of industry sectors.

If you would like more information, please contact Mary Power or Annemarie Quin.

Revenue Audits

An Audit by the Revenue Commissioners is a cross-check of the information and figures presented in tax returns against those shown in business records. A Revenue Audit can be very stressful for any business, however at Westboro Partners, we can provide valuable advice and assistance on how to manage a revenue audit and investigation. We will engage with the Revenue Commissioners on your behalf and where necessary, negotiate a viable solution on your behalf.

We recommend a proactive approach to audits, and provide an inspection service that ensures your accounts and activities are in all in order, should such an audit arise. Should you require immediate assistance, our team of experts are on hand to advise and attend the audit on your behalf.

Employment Incentive Schemes

Westboro Partners has significant experience in the area of employment incentive schemes. In the main this relates to share schemes and share option schemes which act as tax-efficient incentives and rewards for key staff. Such schemes benefit both the employer and the employee where such schemes are linked to appropriate performance-related targets. Westboro Partners can advise on the various schemes available and assist you in the choice of the most appropriate scheme for your company. Westboro Partners will also assist with the implementation and on-going administration issues associated with the relevant scheme.

Corporate Cash Extraction Schemes

Westboro Partners regularly works with our clients in the area of corporate cash extraction. We take an experienced and pragmatic approach to extracting cash from your company, and involve a number of strategies (salary, dividends, equity release, capital gains, pension) depending on each case and the tax bands and credits that apply.
