Hi,

I have been living outside ireland for more than 3 years and I think i am officially non resident (ordinarily and for tax purposes) any way you look at it. I have some shares in Irish registered companies. Dividends from these are subject to DWT. I think I should be able to become exempt from this if i provide proof of my current tax status to the Revenue.

Are there any other taxes that I am liable for in Ireland? Capital Gains on share dealing etc, or is all this tax payable to my new country of residence.

Also, if i return to ireland and wish to transfer my money back into the country will i face a lot of questions from the revenue comissioners...everything is above board but I don't have a paper trail for prove where every Euro came from.
 
If not resident/non-ordinarily resident Irish CGT will only apply on

Land/Buildings in Ireland
Assets of a business in the State
Minerals in the State
Exploration/Exploitation Rights on the continental shelf
Unquoted shares derived from the above

if you return and transfer money from a capital account it won't be taxed. i.e. Capital is not taxed. If it comes from an income source and transferred it will be taxed.

exemption from DWT depends on whether you are in the EU or not.
