Am i liable?

CaptainSkidmark

Guys, i've worked abroad for the last 8 years. Mainly in Europe and paid my stamp in Ireland and Tax to Holland so i'm not worried about that.

The last 2 years i have been working in Russia on a 42/21 days rotation(6 weeks in work 3 weeks at home)

In 2016 i spent 197 days inside the Russian Federation alone aside from holidays and this year is 195 days.

I know theres a 188 days thing but i'm not sure how it works as i heard there is a 1st and second test of some sort.

I don't pay tax here technically because the company pays it on my behalf as an incentive to work here(its quite remote and bloody cold)

Am i liable for tax? the tax rate here is 13% I heard there is some sort of double taxation agreement between Ireland and Russia anyway where by if you pay tax in one country you don't pay it in another.

I'm returning home in January to work at home so i'm slightly worried about raising a flag to myself.

Hi there

You may have an issue of whether or not you remained tax resident as it appears that you will be resident for taxes in Ireland for both years.

You will get a credit for Russian taxes suffered and paid against Irish taxes.
