Taxes if Living in another EU Country

[MartinMN]

In 2026 I will be eligible to apply for the State Pension (Contributory) and the Qualified Adult Allowance in respect of my spouse. I am also in receipt of a public service pension. I am aware that these combined state pensions/allowances are subject to taxation in Ireland. However, it is my intention to move permanently to and reside in another EU state, i.e. Greece. However, I am aware that pensioners who are tax residents of Greece are taxed in Greece for their global income, with credit of the tax paid abroad, without prejudice to the provisions of double-taxation agreements. In this regard, is there any specific document (either a form or waiver letter) that I can get from Revenue to prove that I have paid taxes in Ireland and therefore be able to reduce the amount of the taxes that I would be liable for in Greece.

If you move to Greece then your Irish pension would not normally be taxable in Ireland

It depends on whether you worked in public service or in the private sector

You become non-resident after 3 years living abroard

And isn't it true that for tax purposes, you become non-resident after 183 days of stay in another country in a year?

Google the Greece Ireland double taxation treaty on the revenue website, Articles 18 and 19. I'm in a somewhat similar position although years in the future, with a state pension due from both Ireland and another EU country. My.understanding is that you are due to pay the tax on the pension only where you are tax resident but i don't know how this works in practice.
