Steuerresidenz in Ireland: Der 183-Tage-Test
183-Tage-Schwelle
Wie die 183-Tage-Regel in Ireland funktioniert
Ireland applies a 183 day test per tax year, or 280 days over two consecutive tax years.
Kalenderjahr (Januar bis Dezember). Das bedeutet, dass dein Tageszähler am 1. Januar zurückgesetzt wird. Tage aus dem Vorjahr werden nicht übertragen.
Wenn du 183 Tage überschreitest, kann Ireland dein weltweites Einkommen als Steuerresident besteuern. Die genauen Folgen hängen von deiner persönlichen Situation, geltenden Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen und der Art des Einkommens ab.
Wie die Zählung funktioniert
Ireland runs two day count tests. The first is the headline 183 days in a single tax year, which lines up with the calendar year now. The second is sneakier: spend 280 days or more in Ireland across two consecutive tax years, with at least 31 days in each, and you are treated as resident in both years rather than neither.
Was als Tag gilt
Any day you set foot in Ireland counts, arrival and departure days included. Until 2009 the rule looked at where you were at midnight, but Revenue switched to a present in state test, so even short same day visits now go on the count.
Was über die Tageszählung hinausgeht
Beyond plain residency, Ireland layers on a status called ordinary residence. After three consecutive years as an Irish resident, you become ordinarily resident, and that status follows you for three further years after you leave the country, with effects on the taxation of certain foreign income. Sitting above it is domicile, a deeper common law concept that determines how foreign income is taxed for Irish residents on the remittance basis.
Besondere Steuerregelungen
The remittance basis is the regime worth knowing. Non domiciled Irish residents pay Irish tax on foreign source income and gains only when those amounts are actually brought into Ireland. For inbound employees, the Special Assignee Relief Programme (SARP) goes further and grants a 30% deduction on employment income above a threshold.
Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen
Ireland has a wide treaty network and applies the standard OECD tiebreaker. Treaties can also reduce withholding on dividends, interest, and royalties coming into Ireland from another treaty country.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
How does the 280 day rule work?
It is the rule that catches people who try to split their time evenly across two tax years to avoid hitting 183 days in either one. Spend 280 days or more across two consecutive years with at least 31 days in each, and Ireland treats you as resident for both years rather than neither.
What is the difference between residence and domicile?
Residence asks where you spend the year. Domicile asks where you consider your permanent home, in the common law sense. As a non domiciled Irish resident, you pay Irish tax on foreign income only when it is remitted to Ireland.
When does ordinary residence apply?
It kicks in once you have been Irish resident for three years in a row, and it sticks for three further years after you leave. While you are ordinarily resident, certain types of non Irish income remain inside the Irish tax base, even though you no longer live in Ireland.
