I think these days Ryanair contract pilots do not work for BRK or Storm. They are forced by Ryanair to open a limited company in Ireland. Ryanair supplies the contact of lawyers who help to set it up for the pilots. And the company must be in Ireland. There is no other choice. So technically the pilots work for the Irish limited company they have set up. And the corporate tax is around 15%. If you want to withdraw personal income it is another 40%. I do not work for Ryanair. I have only heard that. My info might be wrong. But the Irish limited company is probably the one in trouble. And that is owned by the pilot.
