    Hi all,

    My father-in-law moved to Ireland, from the UK, on April 26 2018. He lived in the UK for his whole life (70+ years), but now lives here permanently and is not working.
    He receives the UK state pension and a private teacher's pension from the UK, and is currently paying tax in the UK only.

    He has been asked to confirm his tax residency status by Ulster Bank, but we are a little confused about how we go about this, what forms we need to fill out (in the UK or in Ireland) and whether he needs to pay double tax or not?

    Can you help me work out next steps please?

    Bit of reading for you. In short, he isn't going to end up paying the tax twice but he'd want to sort out his tax residency and ensure he's paying tax in the correct jurisdiction, if any is due.

    Assuming he remains in Ireland for the foreseeable future he'll be Irish tax resident.

    Domiciled is a different issue, and has impact on monies brought into the country if earned not in Ireland.

    Also the UK and Ireland dta indicate that he should only pay tax in his country of residence,thus Ireland. This should be arranged with those paying his pension.
