Aviation Transactions

The Irish Government acknowledges the key role Ireland’s taxation system plays in ensuring that Ireland remains one of the leading jurisdiction for aircraft leasing and related business. In this regard, the recent Finance Bill 2013 (as initiated) contained further measures which will only enhance Ireland’s growing reputation for conducting aviation related business.

The Bill contains relieving provisions granting tax depreciation (in the form of industrial building allowances) for capital expenditure incurred on the construction or refurbishment of buildings and structures used for the maintenance, repair or overhaul of commercial aircraft used to carry passengers or cargo for hire or reward.
