Portugal Tax free?

It tends not to be that simple. If you’re in the EU, there has to be free movement of people and capital.

And pensions are dealt with in tax treaties which have been agreed between countries and which override domestic legislation.
 
It seems to be answered in this page from Revenue...https://www.revenue.ie/en/life-events-and-personal-circumstances/moving-to-or-from-ireland/leaving-ireland/if-you-have-retired-and-are-moving-abroad.aspx

Basically:
Private sector Irish occupational pension
You may be receiving an Irish occupational pension from a private sector employer. If so, your pension will be taxed in the country that you are tax resident in if you are both:
You can request a [broken link removed] which would result in no Irish tax being deducted.
You may be resident in a country with which Ireland does not have a Double Taxation Agreement. If so, your pension will continue to be taxed in Ireland.
Irish public sector pension
You may be receiving an Irish pension from the Government or a local authority. In general, this pension is taxed in Ireland regardless of your residence status. Refer to the Government Services article of the Double Taxation Agreement between Ireland and the country you intend to be resident in.
Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) and vested Personal Retirement Savings Accounts (PRSA)
ARFs and vested PRSAs are post-retirement investment funds. If you withdraw money from either, you will be charged tax at source regardless of your residence status. PAYE exclusion orders are not issued in respect of these funds.
Irish State Pensions and foreign State Pensions
Irish State Pensions and foreign State Pensions are taxed by the country that you are resident in.

Wondering Slim how is it taxed if non resident ?
all as paye like if resident
or gains taxed as income
or something else?
 
How long does a person have to stay out of Ireland and move to Portugal to be a non resident?

Can you own a property in both countries but maybe spend 7 months of the year in Portugal.
 
Drawdowns from ARFs and PRSAs are taxed at source irrespective of tax residence. So cannot benefit from Portuguese tax treatment. Only pensions coming from Occupational Pension (excluding Public Service Pensions) can benefit from the 20 year tax deal in Portugal.
