    Recently registered sole trader (IT and VAT) involved in software development. I aim to provide services in Ireland and also potentially getting remote work from UK.

    I am looking for an accountant that can assist with tax and business advice, bookkeeping, etc.

    Please DM me for further info on rates/quotation.

    Or - if anyone here has used an accountancy firm or chartered accountant that they would recommend, I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    My husband and I are retired and moved here to Ireland in 2022. We are from the US and looking for someone to help us filing taxes when the time comes. We are selling a house in the US soon and will be hopefully buying one in Ireland in 2022 or 2023.

    In the short term, we could use some advice on address changes. We have lived in North Carolina most recently, so I understand we will be filing our 2022 taxes for NC since we lived there for some of 2022. But our "home base" in the US now is a family home in Florida. I'm not sure if we should be changing our address with the IRS to Florida or Ireland; I've read recommendations for both on various websites. We would like to be able to vote as well and don't know if a non-US address would complicate that.

    We are in Youghal without a car but can take the 40 bus anywhere between Cork and Waterford.

    I have a question that I think fits into this discussion. I'm not looking for a tax advisor, as I already have a recommendation. I'm also certainly NOT seeking financial advice!

    What I would like to know however is given that I have a recommendation for a tax advisor, is there any basic due diligence I should do on them to make sure that they are above board? I've looked them up on Google, but not found much else apart from their website and a few blog/social media posts. Is there anything else I should check before engaging with them?

    Am seeking advice regarding multiple inheritances, in ROI, where I am resident in another jurisdiction (NI), so a fair degree of complexity is involved.

    I'm looking for someone who understands stock market investing/trading really well. I need help with understanding my tax position.

    I’m an individual who invests in shares, but also perform short term trading in shares / options contracts etc.

    By my understanding, "normal" investing falls under CGT rules, but once you're actively trading in stock market, it is viewed as a "trade" according to "badges of a trade" and thus Income Tax rules will apply - but this is all grey area, so would be good to confirm my position.

    - So firstly I'd like to figure out which group do I fall into, am an "investor" or a "trader". This is most pressing at the moment as CGT deadline is 15th December in 2 weeks time and I need to know if I owe CGT shortly, or will I instead owe Income Tax later on next year.

    - Secondly If I'm a "trader" I want to know how that impacts my other assets in terms of tax. Will my long term stock holdings still be CGT rules or will they all be Income Tax rules etc. Is there a notion of asset segregation for tax purposes when you're a “trader” in stock market, or does it all get lumped together as Income Tax?

    - Lastly I would like to get clarity on the handling of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and the "deemed disposal" rules surrounding it and if being a "trader" has any impact on that.

    If anyone can answer all of these queries, please PM me. Thank you.

    Thank you

    Hi folks, Im moved to Portugal in 2022 and doing my Portuguese taxes for the year 2022. My tax lawyer here is advising me that I should register for tax residency in Ireland in 2022. She assures me everything is fine and I dont need to worry, but I feel like this is going to make me liable to pay extra taxes in Ireland. I didnt earn any income in Ireland that year. What happens if I register as tax resident, will revenue send me a tax bill even though I have paid Portuguese taxes? Is this something I should talk to an Irish tax lawyer about or do you think revenue can answer me? I havent spoken to revenue yet.

    I set up an ltd last March, of which I'm the sole Director and Shareholder. I have VAT and Corporation tax registered, business account in PTSB, proper accounting platform (Bullet) on which I track invoices, wages, and all outgoings. I'm the sole PAYE employee, Class S PRSI.

    Made tiny revenue in 2023.

    However, I've secured a decent contract starting in January and I believe I may need advice on how to most efficiently pay myself. Also what I can and cannot buy for the business from gross revenue, and what I can expense in terms of running costs and receipts.

    Location not important, so long as you're licensed to practice in ROI. I may only need an hour or two of advice, I will have a list of questions and examples set out. Hoping to get yay, nay answers on each.

    Starting with: is there a more tax-efficient method to pay myself than simply putting most of the invoiced amount through PAYE?

    Maybe someone contacted you and is willing to do the analysis and if that is the case great but there is no way I would take on a client who states he only needs an hour or 2 of advice. The risk for a tax advisor is massive and if he gets it wrong and you are down money it is him that gets it in the neck. I would need an hour or 2 to meet you and discuss never mind scoping the work involved, issuing an LOE, complying with AML legislation before even beginning advice here. Best of luck with it anyway and hopefully you find someone that will do it for an hour or 2s fees as you want 👍🏾



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 852 ✭✭✭case_sensitive


    Thanks for replying. I've adjusted my question a little accordingly.

    What I intended to say was that I have some very direct questions, and have done current-state-of-play calculations based on what I could pay myself under the 'standard' PAYE arrangement. A friend who works in funds suggested that's not the best way to do it, that most directors pay themselves a dividend. As far as my 1 hour reading on the subject determined, your tax liability is very similar in either case, if you're IE-domiciled, which I am.

    Looking for a steer rather than liability-invoking custodianship of my accounts.

    Paying yourself a dividend isn’t usually the most tax-efficient way to extract company profits.

    Looking for a tax advisor for a us citizen living in Ireland. Preferably in Munster.

    Thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,262 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    It's pretty tax efficient from the individuals end.

    Company can pay a dividend to you, company can pay tax on that dividend on your behalf, in essence another dividend, in a cycle that goes on and on.

    There is more to, and planning and advice would be needed for sure not to mention on going monitoring and assessing of the situation, but it isn't a bad way to take money out of the company tax efficiently for the individual.

    Within SMEs the individual receiving the dividend may be the owner. So the company pays tax at 12.5% on the profits. Dividends are then distributed from the after tax profits, it’s distributable reserves.

    The company then pays a dividend to its owner, assume the owner is Irish tax resident, DWT of 25% deducted and remitted to revenue by the company.

    The individual, assume a marginal rate taxpayer, pays tax at 50% on the gross dividend received, ,all in. The individual claims a credit for the DWT deducted by the company. So the DWT isn’t a final cost but timing differences between the issuance of the dividend and filing one’s tax return mean it can be a short-term cash-flow headache.

    I can think of much more efficient ways to extract money from a company.

    Dividends are probably the worst way to extract money from a company.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,262 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    As I said there is more to it, and it may not suitable for all individuals but absolutely you can make it highly tax efficient. We have many clients who do just this.

    Dividends aren't a tax deductible expense. The single biggest reason they are not efficient for extracting profits from a company.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭Taxes


    It’s all about the effective tax rate. The CT saving at 12.5% by extracting funds through salary versus dividends is an upside. But that upside is eroded if the person receiving the dividend is a non-proprietary director, for example.

    Extracting funds from a company via a dividend is rarely optimal. However, sometimes it is necessary to extract funds via dividends, for example say a close company which generates significant estate and investment income.

    I would define a tax-efficient extraction method as a method which leads to an effective tax rate on funds of between 0-25%.
