Cobh and Great Island
SUPPORTING ENTERPRISE
The new Build your own business initiative will directly benefit
entrepreneurs in the Cork area to start up their own business. The new
scheme is aimed specifically at those unemployed for at least 15
months and offers a two year exemption from income tax, on those
incomes up to 40,000 per annum.
Tackling the issue of cashflow, the annual VAT cash receipts basis
threshold for SMEs is being increased from 1.25m to 2m from 1st
May 2014. The Research and Development Tax Credit, will also make it
easier to pass a tax credit on to smaller businesses.
MUNICIPAL MARINA
MAKING PROGRESS
Progress is ongoing with the provision of a
new 74 berth marina at Whitepoint in
Cobh, which will act as a ferry to Spike
Island with the Cork Harbour Tours ferry
also operating from the marina.
Led by Cobh Sailing Club, the cost of the
Marina is 1.35 million with funding from various sources including Cork County Council. This is a vital piece of infrastructure for the
harbour area in Cobh and will open the island to even further tourism potential.
