Ireland increases R&D tax credit rate to 35%, mulls widening scope

DUBLIN (Reuters) -Ireland will increase the rate for its research and development tax credit that is mainly used by foreign multinationals to 35% from 30%, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe told parliament on Tuesday.

He also committed to publishing a plan in the coming weeks which will consider additional targeted changes to the regime, including potentially in the areas of outsourcing and qualifying expenditure definitions.
