This webinar will address primary tax and immigration considerations for U.S. residents, UK non-doms, and doms considering relocating from their current country to Ireland. Our panel of astute global taxation and immigration advisers from the U.S., UK, and Ireland will discuss the relative taxes that come into play with such a move, the various ways of obtaining immigration status and citizenship in Ireland, and offer advice to mitigate and circumvent relative taxes.

Description

Individuals from the U.S. and UK considering a move to Ireland need to consider the tax and immigration consequences in both countries. The U.S. and UK have double tax treaties with Ireland to mitigate double taxation for eligible taxpayers. The definitions of residence, ordinary residence, and domicile are key to determining whether an individual is subject to tax in Ireland.

  • An individual is a resident if they are present in the country for 183 days or more during the tax year or if they reside in Ireland for 280 days or more over two preceding years.
  • An individual who has been a resident of Ireland for three preceding years is considered an ordinary resident.
  • The last term, domicile, is not defined in the Irish code but is a facts and circumstances determination.

Where an individual is Irish tax resident but not Irish domiciled, they can avail of an advantageous taxation regime called the remittance basis which can mitigate an exposure to Irish Income Tax and Irish Capital Gains Tax in certain circumstances.

Ireland also has a Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) on gifts and inheritances. Regardless of residency or domicile, property located in Ireland is subject to CAT. Inheritances and gifts below certain thresholds are exempt from CAT. These thresholds vary depending on the transferor's relationship to the recipient---currently, €400,000 for children and €40,000 for brothers and sisters, for example. The remittance basis does not apply to Irish CAT.

In addition to Ireland's system of tax, individuals leaving the U.S. must consider the possibility of an exit tax. U.S. and UK individuals considering residing in Ireland must understand the tax ramifications of relocation as dictated by both countries.

Listen as our panel of international tax and immigration attorneys explains tax considerations of U.S. and UK residents considering moving to Ireland.
