We will then spend enough time out of Ireland each year to qualify for non-residency (183 days per year or 280 over 2 years I believe). We will be in Australia long enough to be classed a residents for taxation purposes, but given that my wife will be on a tourist visa this will not apply to her.
After a bit more research, my presumption was not entirely correct. As a non-resident she does not have to pay Australian tax. However, the tax treaty requires that she pays tax in either Australia or Ireland. Not a show stopper, but means that she cannot legally avoid paying tax.This is a big presumption on your part and I doubt it is accurate. I highly suspect that if she in Australia for over half the year and not resident elsewhere she will owe Australian taxes on her income (which are at least lower than Irish ones). I'd check with an Australian accountant/lawyer as to your plan, as it could get very messy.
