Hi Matt, Cross border taxes are tricky, you need to take into account the double taxation treaties with your tax domicile country. My understanding though is that if you are not domiciled in Ireland, you only pay income taxes on income earned here or remitted here so if you ever had dividends paid into an Irish account or sold ETFs and used the money in Ireland then you’d be liable to pay taxes on those which I can only assume includes deemed disposals but not sure how that works if you’re remitting past the 8 years? Really something you’d need to check with a cross border tax specialist. I came across these guys who seem to be knowledgable in this area. I haven’t used them but they may add some clarity. https://trinityfinancial.ie/

I’m seeking tax advice but am interested in the above as can’t find anywhere online to confirm this approach…

HI Nadja, Sounds like a good plan, just be sure to check on the performance and fees of your pension and negotiate better rates where you can, also be sure to read the fine print for access at 50, that age may be changing to 55 in the next few years and you can only access at 50 under certain conditions. In terms of leaving money in a US bank account, my understanding is if you remit the money to Ireland (including spending it on a US credit card or bank card here), this counts as a tax on remittance to Ireland, even for non-domiciled. I’d check with a cross border tax specialist to confirm.
