Hi

I'm currently living in Australia where I'm now a citizen and may be moving back to Ireland in the next year or two. While here I've built up a fairly substantial DC pension pot (called superannuation here). In Australia you pay 15% tax on the contributions and then when you withdraw over age 60 you can withdraw the full amount tax-free or continue to invest it while drawing down an income. Does anyone know how Irish Revenue would treat this?

I'm guessing if I took it as income it would be liable to Irish tax, but if I just withdrew it to my Australian bank account tax-free and then transferred it to Ireland would that be liable to tax? Obviously I know the rules will likely all change over the next few decades!
 
Hi Djimi Traore. Wondering if you found out the answer to your question? I too am looking for some information around this topic. Thanks.
 
Hi Guys, I have the same queries as above. Just wondering did anyone get clarity on this? Thank you
