Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Ireland
What IDA Ireland investment incentives are available for robotics?
IDA Ireland offers customized incentive packages including capital grants (up to 25% of fixed assets), employment grants, training grants, and R&D support. The package depends on project scale, location, and job creation. We help companies navigate the IDA investment process and structure eligible automation projects.
How does the 12.5% corporation tax work for robot companies in Ireland?
Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax (15% for large multinationals under OECD Pillar Two) applies to trading income. Combined with the 25% R&D tax credit, effective tax rates on robotics R&D are among Europe's lowest. We connect companies with Irish tax advisors for optimal structuring.
Do you provide support in Irish English?
Yes. Our Ireland team provides full documentation, training, and technical support in English. We understand Irish business culture, regulatory requirements, and industry-specific terminology for pharma, medtech, and technology sectors.
What GMP/FDA compliance is required for pharma robots in Ireland?
Pharmaceutical robots must comply with EU GMP Annex 15 (qualification and validation), FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records), and GAMP 5 guidelines. All robotic systems require IQ/OQ/PQ validation. We specialize in GMP-compliant robot deployment and provide full validation documentation packages.
How does EU single market access work from Ireland?
Ireland is a full EU member state — robots and automated products deployed in Ireland have unrestricted access to the 450M-consumer EU single market. CE-certified robots qualify for free movement of goods. Ireland also benefits from close trade ties with the UK and US markets.
