Relocating overseas? What you need to know about international tax regimes

Catriona Coady, Head of Tax, and Aodhán Deane, Tax Planning Lead

A move abroad can be a great life experience. Indeed, people often consider moving overseas for a warmer climate, great cuisine, and a change in lifestyle. However, a favourable tax regime can also influence their decision.

Until last year, Portugal was a popular choice for those relocating from Ireland overseas. However, changes to the Portuguese Non-Habitual Residence (NHR) tax regime have made many wonder if other countries offer a similar regime.

Often, our clients speak to us about retiring overseas or a post-business sale relocation. And so, in response, we have compiled a report that examines the tax regimes in eight countries that we are commonly asked about (click on each country to find out more):

For each country, we address the following key questions:

Is there a special tax regime in place for those relocating to that specific country? 

Do other taxes apply on capital, such as wealth tax; gift and inheritance tax; and real estate transfer tax, transfer duty and property tax? 

How are private pensions taxed there?

These are just some of the considerations when contemplating a move overseas. It is essential to plan ahead and obtain local tax advice too.
