Taxation

Bright Ideas Ltd is an Irish resident company which carries on a trading activity in Ireland. It is wholly owned by a Bermudan company, which in turn is owned by a US privately owned company. The company has a 31st December year end. The Bermudan company advanced two separate loans to the Irish company. The first loan (“Loan #1”) was advanced on the 1st February

2013. Loan #1 was in the amount of €1m and is for a period of 10 months; interest on the loan is charged at 5% per annum. The loan and the associated interest have been repaid before the year end. The loan was used for working capital purposes. The second loan (“Loan #2”) of €5m was advanced on the 1st June 2013 and is for a four year period; Loan #2 was used by Bright Ideas Ltd to fund the acquisition of a patent license from the US. Interest on the loan at 5% has been charged. The interest rate on both loans can be regarded as being arm’s length.
