Individuals relocating to Ireland

With more people working remotely, many employees now have the opportunity to live and work from another country while remaining employed by the same organisation.

This new flexibility offers significant lifestyle benefits and removes traditional geographic barriers but it also introduces important cross-border tax considerations.

Understanding these obligations is key to ensuring compliance and avoiding unexpected liabilities.

The Issues

• At what point do I become tax resident in Ireland?
• Am I domiciled in Ireland? (What country am I a domicile of)
• Am I entitled to any tax credits or allowances in Ireland?
• Will I qualify for the remittance basis of assessment?
• Will relocation costs paid by my employer be taxable in Ireland?
• Can social security continue to be paid in my home country?
• Do I need to register for Irish tax and how can this be done?
