Ireland’s O&G fiscal regime consists of corporation tax, a profit resource rent tax ("PRRT") and a petroleum production tax ("PPT"). PRRT is not deductible for corporation tax purposes and only applies only to exploration licenses and reserved area licenses awarded on or after 1 January 2007. PPT is deductible for corporation tax purposes and is not liable of licences that are subject to PRRT.
The Irish government treats all firms incorporated in Ireland on an equal basis. Ireland’s judicial system is transparent and upholds the sanctity of contracts, as well as laws affecting foreign investment. Conversely, Ireland’s ability to attract investment are often marred by relatively high labour and operating costs (such as for energy); skilled-labour shortages; licensing and permitting challenges (e.g., for zoning, rezoning, project permissions, etc.) Eurozone-risk; infrastructure in need of investment (such as in transportation, affordable housing, energy and broadband internet); high income tax rates; uncertainty in EU policies on some regulatory matters; and absolute price levels among the highest in Europe.
