Remote work for Irish company and travelling the World

    Hi,

    I've been living with my family in Ireland for past 14 years and I'm Irish passport holder. I am currently working for Irish company and planning to travel the Europe or World once the Covid situation calms down and to continue work remotely for them.
    Will I still be Irish resident tax-wise if I will be doing it for several years? I'm not planning to spend more than half year in any country so my understanding is that I will be Irish resident until I decide to settle down somewhere permanently (more than half year, sent kids to school, etc.).
    I will seek professional advice for sure however I'm wondering if anyone is in similar situation and if there are any issues with this, etc.

    Thanks
    A

    You will be resident in Ireland in any year in which you spend 183 days or more in Ireland, or in any year, in which taking that year together with the previous year, you are presesnt in ireland for 280 days or more.

    Being resident in any other jurisdiction under their rules makes no differene to the results of those tests. So it's possible to be tax resident in more than one jurisdiction simultaneously. (Double taxation treaties may mitigate the worst consequences of that.)

    There is no requirement in Irish tax law that you have to be resident somewhere else before ceasing to be resident in Ireland. So it's possible to be resident nowhere for tax purposes if you plan your time carefully.

    Hi. Thank you for taking time to reply! Much appreciated! I will be more than 183 days in Ireland this year but next year and following years I may be here only for short periods not more than a month per year if I sum up all.

    I'm more than happy to pay taxes in Ireland than anywhere else but if I will automatically be non-resident as not living here 183 days or more what are my options really? I thought I will be an ordinary resident in Ireland even not living here as I am Irish citizen and planning to return here maybe.

    In Poland for example I will be resident if i spent 183 days or more there or(!) if my center of life will be there (sending kids to school there, having permanent address, etc.) which I won't if our travel plans go ahead as planned.

    It is interesting what you are saying that I don't have to be resident anywhere... is this some kind of a loophole or common tax solution for working nomads? We have 3/6 years before we will need to settle somewhere and before we send kids to school.
