Remittance Gain

    Can someone please explain this;

    "A remittance in respect of a chargeable gain accruing before an individual comes to take up Irish residence should be ignored if he or she is not Irish domiciled" -

    Assuming for the tax year of arrival to the State the person is Resident and Non - Domiciled they are liable to Irish CGT on;
    (1) Irish Gains
    (2) Foreign Gains Remitted
    Therefore the remittance would fit into category (2)?

    Obviously gains remitted in relation to foreign gains of the prior tax year are capital and not taxed but I don't get the why the remittance in "" is not taxed.

    I'd think that in the first instance the person is not resident, not domiciled and so not within the scope of Irish tax.

    But if resident for the year, taxable on foreign gains that tax year which are remitted?
    The remittance relates to a gain in the same tax year albeit a gain before arrival.
    Same principle with income - when becoming resident, income earned abroad before arrival in same tax year is within the charge to irish tax if remitted (bar foreign employment covered by Split Year Relief).
