Payroll Services in Ireland for UK and International Businesses
Start strong in Ireland. Let us handle your payroll with precision, discretion and care.
Whether you are setting up your European headquarters, building a new team, or need a discreet payroll solution for senior executives, Dains Ireland provides trusted payroll outsourcing for UK and foreign direct investment (FDI) businesses operating in Ireland.
Based in Swords, North Dublin, we work with expanding British businesses, global mobility teams and international employers who need Irish payroll compliance managed by local experts.
Your Trusted Local Partner for Irish Payroll
Ireland’s payroll system has its own rules, requirements and regulatory deadlines. If it is not your home market, it can feel unnecessarily complex. That is where we come in.
Our job is to simplify everything. We manage your payroll with full compliance, complete discretion and ongoing support. Whether you have a single executive on the ground or a full Irish team, we provide:
- Set-up and registration with Irish Revenue for PAYE and tax
- Calculation of Irish PAYE, PRSI, USC and pensions
- Real-time payroll submissions via Revenue Online Service (ROS)
- Direct payments into Irish or international bank accounts
- Reporting and support for Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) including housing, cars or health insurance
- Statutory reporting including ERR, sick pay, minimum wage and auto-enrolment pensions
- Tailored support for global mobility and expatriate payrolls
- Audit-ready compliance and guidance on cross-border tax treatment
- Full confidentiality and discretion, particularly for executive payrolls and sensitive roles
Executive and Discreet Payroll for International Teams
Many global businesses begin with just one or two senior hires based in Ireland. Our executive payroll services are designed for this exact situation. We offer confidential, high-accuracy payroll management for senior leaders, board members, and strategic roles.
We liaise directly with your finance or HR team in the UK, the US or elsewhere, and ensure all Irish payroll obligations are handled smoothly without creating extra overheads for your core business.
