Getting to grips with non-domiciled tax in Ireland can be a daunting task so please share the video with anyone who might find it helpful ❤ Note: s29(4) TCA 1997 states that gains on Irish AND UK situated assets are liable to Irish CGT for non-domiciled individuals who are tax resident in Ireland. This means that the disposal of UK situated assets at a gain will be liable to Irish CGT irrespective as to whether or not those gains are remitted to Ireland. I had forgotten to mention the UK originally when putting the video together.
Hi my mother recently passed away in uk and I am her son and main beneficiary of her estate which is going through probate in uk. I have been living in Ireland since 2006 My solicitor in uk has worked out I will only pay approx 10k inheritance there,when probate is completed what about Irish revenue if I keep the inheritance in uk bank can I avoid inheritance tax in Ireland
Excellent video, my family and I are moving to Ireland in about 4 years (best timing for schools etc) from the UK. I'm doing financial planning, and with the non-dom thing its been complicated.... Your chart at around the 13 minute mark simplifies things alot, thanks! It confirms my probable strategy to move my Vanguard UK ISA (currently an Irish domicile ETF), to a UK based OEIC, I would probably sell tranches of these gains as non-dom to take foreign holidays flying from the UK (even out of Belfast) etc just for lifestyle needs, so to avoid remitting to Ireland. We also have Lifetime ISA, which cannot be cashed until 60 (16 years away), so I will probably keep these in a Luxembourg based ETF but avoid selling them, possibly until we return to the UK. Based on what you said, I think by definition I could not be "reasonably be expected to sell them within 7 years" - I potentially could but I take a 25% hit from HMRC (so incur a loss). My wife and I can also avail of defined benefit pensions from age 50 and 55 respectively (early access), and being non-dom whilst also getting a UK personal allowance is what we are looking at. We'd most likely continue working in Ireland and live off that income and avoid remitting that UK defined pension should we draw it. Also we can still pay into a UK pension as a non-resident for 5 years and have £2880 grossed up to £3600 per annum. I think its pretty cool that you can straddle 2 tax systems, although we're not moving to Ireland for tax avoidance it certainly does help to have these options!
As a subscriber of "Malone Financial," I have gained significant insights into various financial matters, and your content has been instrumental in enhancing my financial understanding. I greatly value the expertise and guidance you provide to your audience, which is why I turn to your channel for valuable information. My query pertains to the remittance basis and the tax treatment of Irish-sourced income, which has already been subject to Irish tax. Specifically, I am interested in understanding whether this income, when remitted back into Ireland, is subject to further Irish taxation, assuming there are no capital gains involved.
What's about DIRT? If I open a "TradeRepublic" account which is based in Germany, and I put money in, I will earn 2% per year, as a non-dom, should I pay taxes?
Finally, this is the video which I have been requesting you for weeks! thanks so much!!!! I created my IBKR account which is based in the USA however, I use my Irish bank account to fund my IBKR account (the destination is not an Irish bank, it is Germany bank) but I will use a different bank account to transfer the profits. Is that ok or I should not use my Irish bank account to fund my IBKR account?
My thoughts would be that this is ok. Yes, the source of the funds is 'Irish money', however, provided the investments themselves aren't of an 'Irish source', and provided the investment gains/income aren't remitted to Ireland, then that should be fine. I do have to reiterate that Revenue may take a different stance as there is no clear guidance on the interaction between the non-domiciled rules and modern brokerage platforms which is unfortunate.
Great video! One question: does being a non-dom in Ireland prevents you from becoming an Irish citizen by naturalisation after 5 years? What are the implications of the non-dom status regarding the path to Irish citizenship? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
Hi mate. Great video and really appreciate all the information you are putting out. Question if you don’t kind. I’m British and my wife is Irish. We moved to Ireland recently and sold our primary residence. The sale went through about a week after we arrived. The sterling in the account we are exchanging and moving to our new Irish bank accounts. I assume that since this money is from selling our UK house there is no tax implication. Would that be correct? No worries if you can’t answer. Cheers mate
Very informative, as for all your videos, many thanks ! Does the remittance basis also applies for DIRT purposes ? Specifically: is interest earned from a French savings account exempt from DIRT (providing it is not remitted in Ireland, and that the account holder is not domiciled in Ireland) ?
My thoughts would be that it would. Non-Irish deposit interest is chargeable to tax under Case III, which is eligible for the remittance basis of taxation (unlike Case IV).
Excellent video. Can you please explain if a NON DOM Irish Tax resident/ordinary Tax Resident, (self Emploued), in ireland filling up FORM 11 has to declare his over seas Rental income? Yes or No? In case he has to declare his over seas rental income, does the individual get taxed on his overseas Residental income, if he has not brought over, or spent any on foreign credit card?
Wow! This is the best explanation of non Dom I have seen on the web! Thank you so much. Question: for a person retiring from the US with pension income in excess of 60k per annum, can he claim non dom status and have the pension income protected from Irish tax by keeping it in a foreign account. Or does Ireland tax all pension income of expat residents regardless? Retiring to Ireland on my pension otherwise would not be feasible if taxed at the regular 40% band.
Amazing video hats off man Two questions here 1) If I remit money to my home country from Ireland and then source of those funds are the savings from my employment in Ireland and earn interest in my home country (which is way higher around 7%) and then after a few years just get the base amount I sent back to Ireland would that be subject to remittance basis of taxation because that was the amount I sent from Ireland which was already subject to Irish income tax and prsi and usc. 2) The interest earned on the money which was in the bank account before coming to Ireland gets compounded and is in a separate bank account as you also advised but each month withholding tax gets deducted so can that WHT be used to decrease the amount of tax I pay in Ireland using the DTAA
Very informative video, thank you. I specifically set up two brokerage accounts: one in my home country and one in Ireland, but was not aware that all ETF gains will be taxable in Ireland regardless. So this seems a perverse rule: if you invest in individual stocks and hold them in your home country they will not not fall into the Irish tax net (for a non-dom), but if they are EFTs they do?
No problem! To clarify, it's not that ALL ETF gains will be taxable in Ireland, it's just that the tests to be met for OECD/EEA based ETFs to be taxed like normal company stocks are quite challenging and therefore it's likely (not necessarily guaranteed) that the 41% will apply to most of the ETFs that are available to retail investors. But yes, your synopsis is in the right direction!
You discussed bank accounts. How about credit cards. What if all my purchases in Ireland are made with foreign credit cards which are paid off by foreign accounts. Is this considered remittance and is reportable or is only cash transfers applicable? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for such a great video! Do you know if I (as non domicile) can use capital losses against capital gains within the same non-Irish brokerage account if I need to remit part that money to Ireland?
No problem! Non-Irish capital losses realized by a non-domiciled individual can't be used to reduce any Irish capital gains tax liability which arises due to the remittance of non-Irish gains or otherwise
My personal case is weird. I can invest in American ETF despite the fact that I am Irish resident. I would love to have a "consultation" with you to explain you my situation.
Great video by the way. Looking at moving to Ireland and will be non-dom. You mention the Etf rule, am I correct in summising this is the same for Unit Trusts and OEICS? What is the treatment for UK Investment Trusts oe US Closed Ended Funds, both of these are quoted Stock Exchange Shares which in turn are a collective type of arrangements?
Hi Dan, I like your Chanel. Didn't you think to create a discord group to create a community for us? I think it will be great. I want to ask you. I am a Romanian man from Moldova. I have Romanian and Moldovan passports. Living and working in Ireland for last 5 years. I understand I am an Irish resident now. I was carefully watching your videos and I understand the taxes as an Irish resident are just insane. Now, if I will invest for some 10-15 years and I will change my residence, let's I will go to Romania, what broker can I use? And to open a Romanian account or an Irish one? Thank you
Irish man living in the Uk. My query isn’t exactly against this topic but I currently still have an Irish account that has a sizeable level of equity that I regularly transfer funds from my Uk account which has been taxed. If I was to invest these funds into a raisin & index fund based in Ireland, I presume I would just need to declare the profit once the fund/ investment is removed
What about coupons from EU government bonds bought through a EU brokerage like Trade Republic (that is in Germany)? Are they taxed as income if remitted to Ireland but not taxed if not remitted?
Thank you! But still complicated! If I will sell my apartment in Ukraine, pay all taxes there. Then want to use this money to buy a house in Ireland, then I need to pay CGT on remittance bases? It’s not clear this double taxation convention at all. In Ukraine we don’t have CGT, there is only income tax from proceeds.
Do you have an videos on. If you want to stay an United States citizen but get dual citizen ship in Ireland. Or just want to invest and buy property in Ireland? My girl is getting her dual in Ireland as her mother is from there. We are not married as of yet. But we like to get a small place to visit family there and rent out that place while we are not using it.
Hello, is everything ok? Could you clarify a doubt for me? I married an Irish citizen and my husband and I decided that we are going to live in Ireland, however, I have investments in my country (Brazil) and I am not interested in providing a tax exit in Brazil, however, I want to send an amount for me to keep in Ireland, I would like to know if I will pay tax in Ireland on all my assets in Brazil (taxes are already paid on Brazilian soil) or if I will only be taxed on the amounts I send to Ireland? And how long could I maintain non-domestic status? Can I maintain non-domestic status if I become an Irish citizen? Thank you in advance for your attention, have a great day. 😃🙂
Nice video. What about a non dom who does not remit any earnings to Ireland but ony uses Gains from a account predating the move to Ireland. Does this person has to pay social security insurances such as Health insurance? As the Ireland Income is Zero and hence Zero multiplied the % for the Healthcare insurance would be Zero . Is this understanding corrrect that a non Dom in Ireland only living of capital does not hat to pay Healthcare Insurance in Ireland!? but how would he then be covered by Healthcare insurance?
Hi Malone i have the following question: lets say someone has 40k saved in a foreign bank prior to moving to Ireland. if they come and transfer that money to Irish Bank would that amount be taxable?
Nope! Provided all of the money in the account is earned before the 1st of January in the tax year that you become Irish tax resident, then that money would be treated as 'non-taxable capital' by Revenue and can be brought into Ireland tax free
@@malone_financial thanks! and all the money earned in this fiscal year from Ireland if i move to irish bank can it be taxed? that amount was already taxed when paid.
I hold an Irish passport and have an non Irish pension and want to move to Ireland to retire. How will my pension be taxed % ? Also my wife works on line ( non Irish company) how will her income be treated ( taxed) ?
Foreign pension income received by Irish tax residents will be liable to Irish income taxes. Your wife's employment income will be taxable in Ireland to the extent that duties are performed within the State
Excellent video! I wanted to clarify my understanding of a point you made - I own US ETFs in dollars (I am not domeciled in USA or anywhere in EU), If i move to Ireland these US ETFs will still be subject to deemed disposal and 41% CGT because they are part of OECD and very likely similar to an Irish ETF equivalent. Specifically I own VT (vanguard world ETF) - which is quite similar to VWRA/VWRD (Irish domeciled ETFs). Am I understanding correctly that even if I do not remit any of the proceeds of these investments to Ireland I will still be subject to the above mentioned taxes. Thank you!
I realised however that VT and VWRA/VWRD track different underlying indexes - VT tracks FTSE all cap and VWRA/VWRD track the FTSE all world index (one is 9000 companies other is 4000). The difference is VT includes small caps, whereas the others do not. To my knowledge there isn't an Irish domeciled etf that replicates VT. Do you think this would be different enough to avoid the deemed disposal and 41% CGT taxation?
Excellent video, I could not find all this info myself! Thanks a mill. Just a question: I am considering to open a pension account in my home country. If I buy ETFs in that pensions scheme and keep it until my retirement age do I still need to let the Revenue know, pay 41% and this 8 year rule applies? There would not be any tax implication in my home country, if I cash it after I am 60yo. Thanks again.

@9:18 "You're going to need 3 bank accounts..." Bertie, you can click away from this now...
I usually watch YT but without being signed in but this comprehensive video warranted signing in to lend support/feedback to your channel.
Do you declare somewhere (e.g revenue.ie website) when living in Ireland that your status is non-dom?
Many thanks! Great video! Will the remittance transferred by tax resident from abroad to estate solicitors in Ireland to buy house be taxed?
