Taxation of LPs in Ireland

The limited partnership is seen as a «flow-through» structure, which means it is not liable to any corporate taxes.

The partners are liable to pay an income tax to the Irish Tax Administration if they are residents of Ireland and/or if the profits have been generated on the soil of Ireland.

Therefore, profits generated out of Ireland attributed to partners also out of Ireland will not be taxed.
