Hi, can someone help me understand cessation of tax residency in Ireland? I've been living in Ireland my whole life and paying taxes here but I wish to emigrate this year. How soon can I stop paying taxes in Ireland? If I live most of 2025 abroad, I am no longer considered resident correct? Will I have to pay taxes for 2025?
I'm a sole trader, my income source is all online and I do not have property or income coming from Irish employers.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
If you spend less than 183 days in Ireland in a calendar year, you are not liable to pay tax here. You must inform Revenue and it will contact your country of residency. Be aware that what is tax free in Ireland might mot be tax free in your new country. There might be other implications also e,g compulsion to take out private health insurance, declare your worldly earnings, value of property you possess etc.
