Hi All,
Just looking for some clarification regarding my OH's tax residency.
Background is that he was out of the country for over 183 days in 2011 in a country that does not have a double taxation agreement with Ireland. Prior to that he was resident in Ireland.
I have been in touch with a tax accountant who has said that as he was resident in Ireland for the 3 years prior to 2011, his worldwide income is taxable in Ireland for 2011.
I found the following on the Revenue website (http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/res1.html#section1):
What is "Ordinary Residence"?
The term ordinary residence refers to an individual’s pattern of residence over a number of tax years. If you have been resident in the State for three consecutive tax years, you are regarded as ordinarily resident from the beginning of the fourth tax year. Conversely, you will cease to be ordinarily resident in the State having been non-resident for three consecutive tax years. A person can be non-resident for a tax year but still be ordinarily resident for that year if the absence is temporary.
Non-resident individuals
Individual who is non-resident but is ordinarily resident in the State for the tax year in respect of which tax liability is to be calculated
Such an individual is, for that tax year –
a. treated in the same way as an individual who is tax resident (see Tax Resident Individuals above); but
b. will not be taxable on -
i. the income derived from a trade or profession no part of which is carried on in the State;
ii. the income derived from a non-public office or a non-public employment all of the duties (except incidental duties) of which are performed outside the State (but see Non-resident directors of Irish incorporated companies below re Irish public offices);
iii. other foreign income (e.g. investment income) which, in the tax year, does not exceed €3,810.
Note part in bold - this would suggest to me that his income is not taxable as his trade profession was not carried on within the state? Am I reading this correctly or am I missing something that means his worldwide income is taxable?
Thanks,
Nutso
