Max thank you so much for your information. I would like to clarify and then pose another question. There is no Irish subsidiary. Hubby working in Germany, Spain, Poland, and Sweden and we have chosen to live in Ireland. He will commute.(not daily). We had a meeting yesterday with the CEO and some discussion about being paid in US $ and expatriate. That is what is normally done on assignemts of 3 years. We plan on staying till hubby retires, 15 years, and maybe after retirement. CEO then suggested perhaps it would be better to pay us from the "holding" company in Sweden and we would then be paid in Euros and he did not think there would be US taxes, but we may then need to pay Irish taxes since that is where we live. CEO said we need to find a good accountant in Ireland who is knowledgeable with this. Also told us if paid in Euros the company would open a retirement account there and we should probably leave the US retirement accounts here, unless the currency ever changes. So does this sound like the way to go? Max, are you the accountant we need???? Thank you so much for the information.
