The Finance Bill 2024 was published on 10 October.
Some of the key features in Finance Bill 2024 include the legislation for the introduction of a Participation Exemption for foreign dividends. Many of our neighbouring jurisdictions have had Participation Exemptions for dividends for many years. This provision should enhance Ireland’s corporate tax regime. In addition the Finance Bill include significant legislative changes in relation to pensions regime, including changes to employer contributions to PRSAs, legislation for the increase to the Standard Funds Threshold and provisions in relation to the tax treatment of the Auto Enrolled pensions regime that is due to come into effect.
RBK have summarised the key provisions in the Finance Bill.
