Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction here.
I'm in my mid 50s and thinking of retiring soon. I've been working abroad in a low tax economy for over 25 years. Because of this I have no formal pension but instead have an investment pot mainly composed of blue chip dividend paying shares which I should be able to live on.
I am happy looking after the investments myself and I don't want to lose control or flexibility on the funds. However I suppose I would be liable for full tax on any dividends received as well as capital gains when I rotate shares. I wonder if there is a more tax efficient way of doing it ? For example, would I be better to put this money into some kind of pension fund when I return to Ireland? Grateful for any pointers.
