Residency v non-residency

    Hi,
    Sorry if I'm breaking any rules here, have also submitted this thread to the forum Regions/Abroad/Living Abroad - wasn't sure where I would get best response.

    I'm wondering if there is such a thing as an idiot's guide to the issue of residency v non-residency.
    I moved abroad a few months ago (outside EU) but technically my primary residence is still in Ireland. I am on a career break from work and may or may not go back. I own 2 houses in Ireland, one my home (which I may rent), the other an investment which is rented. I am not working at the moment but may take up employment in the future.
    I'm trying to figure out how officially changing my primary place of residence will affect tax / access to health services etc.
    I don't even know how to go about giving up Ireland as primary place of residency.
    Any tips for sites or comments welcome.

    If you spend over 183 days in ireland or over 280 over two years in ireland you are resident.

    You can elect to be non resident from the date of departure if you leave with the intention of being non resident in the following year ( split year relief)

    once you have been resident for three consecutive years you will continue to be ordinarily resident from the date of departure.

    residence, ordinary residence and domicile combine to give varying tax treatment for CGT, CAT Income tax and other things.

    as regards employment if you work in ireland you are automatically taxed here regardless of residence.
