You don't have to but you can; and apparently it's good politics too. Google made a big deal of its new office space in the center of Paris when they opened two years ago.
Edit: of course, the right for an Irish company to do business anywhere in Europe is also one that can be abused. Separate companies are not needed for rights to be abused and offices to be raided.
- rahimnathwani 10y agoCan only French companies open offices in the centre of Paris? Couldn't an Irish company rent office space just as easily?
- eloisant 10y agoAn Irish company could probably rent office space, but to have employees under a French contract you need a French company. Not only workers hired in France wouldn't want an Irish contract, but you can only have "posted workers" for a temporary period. http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=471&langId=en http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=471&langId=en
- DrJokepu 10y agoActually, an EU company can employ workers in other EU member states without local subsidiaries, but will need to register with the government of the country where the employment will take place; the actual process varies by member state, e.g. in the UK the employer would have to register with HMRC and set up PAYE.
