I'm an Italian citizen but I moved to Ireland for work in 2016.
In 2017 I setup a small consulting company, making roughly 50k a year.
I then started to travel around Europe, triggering the 180 days rule in at least two other countries so far.
I tried to leave behind as little evidence as possible, no paper trail nor anything, in the other countries.
On my side, I also have a combo of:
- Irish tax certificate +
- bank account statement to a physical address
- credit card statement to a physical address
At the moment all sent to my old address, as I had a friend living there till the end of January.
I'm not really concerned about the other two countries claiming any tax. But as the business is slowly growing getting closer to the 100k a year figure, I am wondering how can I make sure to maintain Irish tax residence and not risking to get into any trouble.
My plan is to get back to Ireland and stay for a few months, as I usually do on a regular basis. This time though, I'd like to get an agreement with the landlord, or with a friend, and offer to pay any kind of utility for him, for an unlimited amount of time, having my bank to change my address to his house, declaring also to revenue I'm living there.
That should, in my mind, provide me with the utility bill that I miss to make the above mentioned combo unbeatable.
As the LTD company has nobody working for it other than me, my indisputable tax residence will also provide for the indisputable tax residence of the company.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the topic 🙂
