There is no specific cryptocurrency regulation in Ireland, but there is also no specific prohibition in Ireland on any activities related to cryptocurrency.
The investors who want to open a company in Ireland in this industry will be required to register for taxation with the Irish Revenue for capital gains (just like in the case of any other legal entity operating in this country) and with Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) for Anti-Money Laundering purposes.
The CBI (Central Bank of Ireland) is the competent authority in Ireland for the regulation of financial services including electronic money, payment services and securities law. The CBI has yet to indicate the extent to which existing financial regulation will apply. The CBI has issued warnings in relation to ICOs and cryptocurrencies and has also contributed to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)'s warnings to both consumers and to firms engaged in ICOs
Taxation
And when it comes to making a gain on a cryptocurrency, the Revenue guidance states that for companies, chargeable gains will be subject to corporation tax 12,5%.
On VAT, Revenue says that as bitcoin and other crypto currencies are deemed to be “negotiable instruments”, they are exempt from VAT.
Registration for AML Purposes
Central Bank of Ireland warns certain firms need to register for AML purposes; a number of firms will need to register with the Central Bank as ‘Schedule 2 firms’.
The Central Bank of Ireland has posted a guidance for registration of the so-called “Schedule 2 Firms”. This type of registration must be done for anti-money laundering (AML) purposes.
If a firm is an issuer of electronic money and it is not otherwise authorised or licenced to carry on business by the Central Bank, then it will need to register with the Central Bank as a ‘Schedule 2 firm’.
