Irish ICE desks

The teams are an extremely valuable resource, providing assistance on tax issues and working closely with various Deloitte offices across the US and Asia as well as other foreign desks based in those countries. Operating in the same time zone and in close geographical proximity, our Irish desks in New York and Hong Kong can easily participate in ad hoc meetings or brainstorming sessions with US/Asian based clients. They are available to instantly and personally explain local ramifications of the tax alternatives considered. They have a working knowledge of the interaction between the US, Asian and Irish tax system. Thus, they are able to bring an integrated perspective to any situation and answer the specific needs of US/Asian based companies.
