Tax in Ireland as a non-resident

    I am Irish national, but resident and Tax paying in the Netherlands for some years.

    I still have my Irish bank account and get some occasional income paid into it each year, less than 6k per annum.
    At what point do I need to consider my Irish tax obligations?
    Does anyone know how visible the money in my Irish account is to the Dutch tax authorities?

    Thanks

    I know the following:
    In regards to extra income Revenue says “over €5,000 a year, you will need to register for self-assessment.”
    So technically I should register myself as self-employed to declare this income?
    This should also be declared on my Dutch income tax return but it is then tax exempt.

    In my case I have an Irish bank account that is only occasionally used with relatively small sums of money, Are there practical situations where someone is clearly in breach of their tax obligations?
    I feel like this must be often overlooked by individuals and is a non-issue in my case?

    From what does the income arise?

    Non-residents are generally only within the scope of Irish income tax in respect of Irish sourced income and even then there are some exclusions likely to apply under the Ireland/Netherlands double taxation agreement.

    Thanks for your response,

    Mostly the income if from farm work done while in Ireland, paid in transfers between personal accounts.
    Occasionally I would get paid for what you could call consultancy, which would have been done in the Netherlands but payments through the Irish account.

    I will read more about the "Ireland/Netherlands double taxation agreement"

    If you are doing farm work physically in Ireland or you have an interest in a farm and the profits therefrom, you will be subject to Irish tax. If you are doing remote consultancy from the Netherlands as a non-Irish resident, it should not be taxable in Ireland. However, you will likely have Dutch tax obligations, including VAT potentially (failure to register more so than actual VAT liability).
