Microsoft’s Ireland hub generated $47 billion in pretax profits for the fiscal year ending June 2025. This figure represents 38.1% of the company’s total global profits.
The Irish operation earns more than $7 million in pretax profit per employee. This productivity rate is 13 times higher than Microsoft’s worldwide average.
These details emerged in the company’s first Public Country-by-Country Report. New European Union regulations mandate this disclosure to increase tax transparency for large multinational corporations.
The rules require companies to report revenues, profits, and tax payments for every EU jurisdiction. This transparency provides a clearer view of where multinational profits are concentrated.
