Ovo je najvaznija vest za Irsku, posto je izvor farmaceutskih i medicinksih proozvoda ubedljivo najveci deo veikog irskog izvoza u SAD.

Of the €72.6 billion in US imports from Ireland, approximately €58 billion relates to pharmaceuticals and chemicals leaving Ireland.

Irish passport named the strongest in the world for 2025 in new ranking

Ireland claims the top spot, overtaking Switzerland in what Nomad Capitalist says is an "ongoing rivalry" between the two neutral nations that have dominated the rankings in recent years.

Evaluating 199 citizenships, the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index ranks each passport across five key factors: visa-free travel, taxation, global perception, dual citizenship, and personal freedom.

Za sve koji zive u Republici Irskoj, juce je ministarstvo finansija izaslo sa podacima o stanju prikupljanja poreza i budzeta. U bliskoj buducnosti nema problema za Irsku, postoji visak u budzetu i to prilican, kao i prosle godine. Ali ako se desi da se produyi sve ili da Irska bude poptuno oporezovana, sto je sada velikim delom izbegla, moglo bi da bude lose.

US tariff threats won't derail Irish economy – Davy

But despite this, it said that Ireland's economy has shown remarkable resilience against major external shocks in recent years, including Brexit and Covid-19.

"With remarkably favourable structural advantages, including a well-educated workforce and a strong national financial balance sheet, Davy believes the Irish economy is well placed to navigate this latest external shock," it added.

But it cautioned that a downside risk is that slower global economic growth and profitability could mean smaller tax liabilities for the handful of companies paying a large majority of Ireland's corporation tax.

Figures show that 8.1% of all corporation tax here was paid by just three firms in 2023, while the top 168 FDI tax-paying firms made up only 6.2% of employment and 6.5% of labour income.

Davy said that a Brexit-like phase of negotiations between the EU and the US regarding its new trade policies is now likely.

Brexit showed that progress in these discussions can be very slow, and a firm conclusion can take many years to reach, it added.

Davy also said that the pharmaceuticals and food & beverages sectors may face significant challenges due to potential tariffs.

Although pharmaceuticals have been exempted from the initially announced tariffs, it is expected that further measures will follow given president Trump's comments on the industry.

Today's report suggests that large pharmaceuticals manufacturers are likely to re-arrange their activities somewhat to minimise the impact of the tariffs rather than ceasing their operations in Ireland entirely.

Najvise je pogodjena irska poljoprivreda sa carinama ali ocekujem da ce veliki irski budzetski suficit da pokrije te gubtke.

Irska je nakon iskustva 2008-2011, radila na strukturnim reformana da im se ne ponovi katastrofa, videcemo kako ce biti i da li su dobar posao odradili.

Irish tax receipts continue to grow as fallout from Trump tariffs looms

Exchequer surplus reached €4.1bn in the first quarter — boosted by €3bn in Vat and €1.94bn in corporation tax in March alone

The Government recorded a surplus of €331m during March, a 4% increase compared to last year, as higher Vat returns offset a drop in income tax receipts, new exchequer returns data shows.

During March, the Government took in just over €3bn in Vat, an increase of €188m, while income tax receipts fell by €23m to €2.56bn. Corporation tax increased by €88m year-on-year to just under €1.94bn.

Overall, during the first three months of the year, the exchequer recorded a surplus of €4.1bn — compared to the €300m surplus recorded during the same period in 2024.

However, that surplus drops to around €900m if the money the Government received from the Apple tax case ruling in September is excluded.
