Taxation: S. Ireland but reside in Scotland

Postby RAnderson » Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:22 pm

Hello first of all I thought i’d introduce myself :mrgreen:
My names Ryan and i’m a home renovator in Scotland and I’m now hoping I can cut down on some cost without obstructing any laws here in the UK.

It is possible for me to obtain a dual eu/irish passport as i have grandparents that are from southern so I’m wondering if this makes things suitable for setting up a business account in Southern Ireland and pay corporation tax in ireland at 12.5%. I see the UK has a double taxation treaty which is beneficial.

So my question is can i start paying taxes in Ireland a be based in Ireland legally? Maybe i need substance? Really looking forward to any replies or advice you may have

Tax is not payable based on a passport, and companies do not have passports.

In what way do you think the DTA will help you?

Break this down. Where do you think a person (or a company) based in UK, earning in UK, and resident in UK, should be paying tax?

There is an obvious answer and that would be the correct answer.
