No, but domicile just means where you intend to stay, right. It isn't directly related to your citizenship or the citizenship of your parents? I have a German partner and German/Irish son and we intend living here permanently. We are certainly tax resident in Germany.Are you sure you're domiciled in Germany? Is your father German?
I should correct myself. After a quick google I found http://www.daily-paragraph.de/index.php/archives/steuerrecht/auslandsimmobilie/3472 which states that Spain and Finland are excluded from what I said above BUT rental income losses in those countries can be offset against any income in Germany as well.That's interesting, I've come across a couple of cases where due to different treatment income in this instance Case V in Ireland is taxed at 52% for an Irish Resident and 20% for a German resident.

Domicile of origin is not easily shed, particularly where a person retains economic ties (such as owning substantial assets) in their country of original domicile. You might want to confirm with Revenue that they accept you're no longer Irish domiciled.
The fact the OP 'intends' to reside in Germany permanently would be key here. And there is no way Revenue would have the competence to decide on a person's domicile as it's such a tricky area of law.
I don't even see what domicile has to do with the issues at hand. Revenue accept that I'm non resident. The PRSI issue is a simple one of residency, not domicile. The most annoying thing is that I went through all this last year and I thought it was settled. I ask myself now will I have this hassle every year.
You might well be right on that score. It also costs nothing to request confirmation in writing but I don't want to confuse them any more than they appear to be right now so I'll get the pressing issues resolved first before asking them for that written confirmation.
What really gets me about this whole mess is that my circumstances are more or less in line with last year and they are not complicated.
I am tax resident in Germany in PAYE type employment paying social insurance (straight away then I am actually prohibited from contributing to the PRSI system in Ireland according to Irish rules). I only have unearned income (rental income) from Ireland, so tax treatment of it should be straightforward.
The only taxes due to Revenue are income tax and the USC (same as last year), but they made a fist of it again and tried to charge me PRSI (and NO USC which is clearly a mistake) and gave me NO apportioned personal tax credit (s.1032 Taxes Consolidated Act 1997) which they DID give me last year.
No. I've never done that. Do you think I could avoid these hassles if I did? If so I'll try it next year.
