And even from a tax perspective, it’s really important to keep your affairs in order. Lisa Quinn O’Flaherty of Fitzsimons & Redmond LLP is an expert in all things legal and in Part 2 of our conversation, we discuss the complexities of cross-border probate, why having a separate will for your Irish assets is essential, and how the probate process really works (it’s not like what you see on TV shows!).

If you’ve moved to or from Ireland, own property here, and just want to make sure your affairs are in order, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you navigate the legal side of estate planning with confidence. Main Topics discussed in this Episode: Cross-border probate: How separate wills can streamline estate administration across jurisdictions. The Irish probate process: What happens after a person passes away, and why some estates can take over a year to settle. Common pitfalls: From unfiled tax obligations to outdated wills—how to avoid delays and headaches for your loved ones.

This is Part 1 of Stephanie's conversation with Lisa Quinn O'Flaherty - make sure you subscribe to be notified about Part 2! The legal side of being an expat or repat is often more complicated than originally anticipated. (alongside the tax side, of course!) In this episode, I sat down with Lisa Quinn O’Flaherty of Fitzsimons & Redmond LLP to talk about some of the most important legal considerations when buying property in Ireland, succession planning, and the complexities of wills and probate. Lisa brings her wealth of experience as a solicitor to answer questions relating to some of the most common scenarios you might face, from navigating Ireland’s unique home-buying process to the importance of ensuring your will aligns with your wishes—especially if you own assets across multiple jurisdictions. Whether you’re planning your first property purchase in Ireland or thinking about how to structure your estate for your family's future, this episode is packed with practical advice. Main Topics discussed in this Episode: The Unique Irish Property Buying Process : Buying a home in Ireland can be a lengthy and sometimes unpredictable journey. From understanding the role of the solicitor to the importance of surveys and securing mortgage funds, being prepared is key to a smoother process. The Role of Wills in Irish Asset Ownership : If you own property in Ireland, having an Irish will is essential to ensure your wishes are clearly laid out and legally enforceable under Irish law. Cross-Border Estate Planning : For expats with assets in multiple jurisdictions, aligning wills across countries is crucial to avoid conflicts, unintended consequences, or tax inefficiencies. The Importance of Proactive Planning : Starting the process early—whether it’s securing life assurance, understanding tax implications, or engaging a professional—is the best way to avoid delays and complications. Tax and Legal Overlap : Effective estate planning often requires collaboration between solicitors and tax professionals, particularly when dealing with assets in Ireland and abroad. Understanding the tax treaties and laws that apply to your situation can help mitigate unexpected liabilities.

The Road to Affordable Car Insurance in Ireland for Expats (Part 2) with John Healy 16:41

för 11 weeks sedan16:41

16:41

This is Part 2 of a conversation with John Healy of Healys Insurances - if you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, we'd highly recommend it before jumping into this episode! There's more to car insurance than claiming on accidents - it's about knowing when to use, which insurance to get and what you need to bring with you as an expat to save money on your premiums. Talking more about Car Insurance in Ireland, I’m joined by John Healy of Healy’s Insurances, an expert with over 25 years of experience in insuring cars, homes and more. Healy’s Insurances is well-known in expat circles for helping people navigate the quirks of the Irish insurance market (though most notably for Mary Doyle, or “Mary of Healy’s!”). In this Part 2, we dig deeper into the practicalities of insuring your vehicle in Ireland, including tips to avoid common pitfalls and how to ensure a smooth process when transitioning from foreign to Irish policies. John shares his wealth of experience, including why your no-claims bonus is invaluable, how car registration impacts your premiums, and what you need to know about imported cars. We also bust some insurance myths, cover the pros and cons of bundling policies, and discuss what to do if you’re caught in the grey zone with your license or insurance timeline. Whether you’re planning your move or are already in Ireland scratching your head over insurance, this episode is packed with advice to help you make a plan that saves you money and gets into your car as soon as possible. Main Topics in the Episode: No-Claims Bonus is Key : Your no-claims bonus document from abroad is a must-have. Make sure it’s valid, canceled where necessary, and ready before you arrive in Ireland. Car Registration Matters : Your car's reg impacts your insurance quote significantly, from its history (like past accidents) to its mileage. Check the car's insurance eligibility before buying. License Logistics : Foreign licenses can work temporarily, but plan early to convert to an Irish license—especially if you’re from a country without a straightforward exchange process. Imported Cars = Higher Costs : Be cautious when bringing in cars from outside Ireland, as niche models or past damages could hike up premiums or even make them uninsurable. Claiming on Insurance : For minor damages, weigh the cost of paying out-of-pocket against claiming—especially if you’re a younger driver or lack bonus protection.

The Essential Car Insurance Guide for Expats (Part 1) with John Healy 22:28

för 14 weeks sedan22:28

22:28

It’s hard enough to get yourself organised to fly back to Ireland, but you need to start thinking about buying a car almost before anything else! The insurance, licensing, and timing it just right… there’s so much to think about! Over the next two episodes, I’m joined by John Healy of Healy’s Insurances, an expert with over 25 years of experience in insuring cars, homes and more. Healy’s Insurances is well-known in expat circles for helping people navigate the quirks of the Irish insurance market (though most notably for Mary Doyle, or “Mary of Healy’s!”). In this Part 1 episode, we chat about everything from the importance of your no-claims bonus, how to handle foreign licenses, and what you need to know about timelines for securing car insurance when you move to Ireland. It’s the best starting point for anyone who hasn’t bought or insured a car in Ireland, and you’ll have even more to look forward to in the next episode! Main Topics: Your No-Claims Bonus is Key : This one-page document detailing your claims-free driving history is essential for securing competitive insurance rates in Ireland. Start organizing this early, as the policy must be canceled in your home country before the bonus is issued. You Can Drive Temporarily on a Foreign License : Expats can use a foreign license for up to 12 months, but you'll need to exchange or replace it with an Irish license if you’re staying longer. The process varies based on your country of origin—U.S. license holders, for instance, face additional steps. Budget for Licensing and Driving Lessons : If you're coming from the U.S., you'll need to pass a theory test and complete six driving lessons before taking the Irish driving test. Lessons can cost €40–€70 per session, depending on your location. Timelines Matter : Insurance renewals can become tricky if you haven’t secured your Irish license within the first 12 months. Be proactive—schedule your licensing appointments as soon as possible to avoid delays. A Tailored Approach to Insurance : Irish insurers often specialize in certain customer profiles. Expats with foreign licenses may find fewer insurers willing to quote, but brokers like Healy’s can help navigate these nuances and secure the best deal.

Top Tips for Managing U.S. Taxes as Irish Citizens or Expats with Sean Kearney (Part 2) 25:18

för 16 weeks sedan25:18

25:18

Hi everyone! The complications of Ireland/U.S. migration isn't lost on any professional that has a stake in making the move work. Knowing how to treat both countries from a financial perspective is difficult - especially for those of us making the move! In Part 2 of my conversation with Sean Kearney of Amvoy Wealth, we dig even deeper into the complexities of financial planning for Irish expats in the U.S. and those with cross-border lives. Sean shares some sharp insights on managing investments, avoiding the pitfalls of overly complex tax schemes, and his core philosophy: living life first and aligning financial plans around it. We also get into the nitty-gritty of ensuring tax compliance and explore the underestimated value of planning for a possible return to Ireland. Sean's experience and understanding of U.S.-Irish financial management shines through, and his advice is a must-hear for anyone navigating finances in both places. This episode is a reminder that financial planning is not about cutting corners to save every last cent in tax, but rather about creating a meaningful roadmap that supports the life you want. If you're an expat or have assets on both sides of the Atlantic, Sean's practical tips can make the complexities of cross-border financial life much easier to manage. Topics mentioned in this episode: Balance Life Goals with Financial Plans: Sean advocates planning for the life you want rather than obsessing over tax efficiency alone. Prioritize lifestyle needs, then find the best way to align your finances. Understand Tax Compliance and Reporting Requirements: For U.S.-connected individuals, understanding reporting requirements in both countries is critical, especially as financial data-sharing between the U.S. and Ireland grows. Consider the Impact of Currency and Tax Rebasing: Before moving back to Ireland, rebasing investments in the U.S. can save significant tax costs due to currency fluctuations and different tax structures. Plan Early if Considering a Move Back to Ireland: For those hoping to return to Ireland, early planning is crucial, as it can mean the difference between a smooth, tax-efficient transition and an unexpected financial hit. Project Management in Financial Planning: Cross-border financial planning often requires a team approach, incorporating tax, estate planning, and investment advice to ensure every angle is covered.

The Financial Reality of Migrating to/from the United States with Sean Kearney (Part 1) 30:24

för 18 weeks sedan30:24

30:24

Hi everyone! The complications of Ireland/U.S. migration isn't lost on any professional that has a stake in making the move work. Knowing how to treat both countries from a financial perspective is difficult - especially for those of us making the move! In this episode, I sat down with Sean Kearney of Amvoy Wealth, a specialist in helping Irish citizens manage their US-based finances, understand tax obligations, and plan for future moves between Ireland and the US. Sean’s expertise is second to none, and his insight into the realities of balancing US and Irish financial systems is both essential and eye-opening. In Part 1 of our conversation, Sean shares the basics of navigating dual tax obligations, the common missteps that Irish expats encounter in US financial planning, and why keeping everything above board (no matter how tempting it might be to do otherwise) is crucial. If you’re an Irish citizen in the US, planning a move back home, or have financial assets in either country, don’t miss Sean’s advice on staying compliant, managing investments across borders, and the importance of early financial planning! And stay tuned for Part 2 in the next episode of Taxbytes For Expats! What you'll hear in this episode: The Importance of Cross-Border Financial Planning: Moving between the US and Ireland involves unique financial and tax implications, especially for Irish citizens holding US assets or green cards. Working with advisors who understand both systems can save you from costly mistakes down the road. Tax Consequences of Holding a Green Card: Many Irish expats seek a US green card but don’t realize the potential tax consequences when leaving the US. It’s critical to properly exit the US tax system and file necessary documentation to avoid future tax liabilities. Why Rebasing Investments Before Moving Matters: Selling or ‘rebasing’ assets while still under US tax jurisdiction can often reduce capital gains tax, as US rates are typically lower than Ireland’s. Proper timing here can make a significant difference in tax savings. Potential Risks of Unpaid Taxes and Undeclared Assets: Ignoring tax obligations on assets left in the US or in Ireland can come back to haunt expats, especially with increasing global tax transparency. Compliance is key to avoiding future penalties. The Value of a Cross-Border Advisory Team: Combining the expertise of Irish and US advisors who communicate directly can give expats clarity and security. This collaboration ensures compliance, optimizes tax strategies, and aligns with personal and financial goals across both countries.

Making Irish Immigration Transparent, Sustainable and Simple with Tom Ryan 30:18

för 20 weeks sedan30:18

30:18

Immigration information is a huge sticking point with people moving to Ireland, and with almost 30 years of experience in Irish immigration, Tom Ryan knows the ins and outs of the Irish Immigration System better than anyone. Tom shares detailed information on how the Irish immigration process works, what criteria the Department of Justice is looking for, and crucial tips to make your application as smooth as possible. Tom also breaks down the financial requirements needed for retirees, explains "Stamp 0" and the other stamp types for migrants, and shares his advice on how to maximize the chances of your application being approved. If you're thinking about immigrating to Ireland for any reason, my interview with Tom Ryan is a great starting point to set your expectations and inform you about the immigration process. There's even a special offer of a free 30-minute consultation with Ireland Relocations! So if you're in the planning stages, send an email to grainne.convery@croningroup.ie and mention "Taxbytes For Expats" to take advantage of this offer. Main Topics discussed in this Episode: Know Your Visa Path : Irish and EU nationals don’t need to go through immigration procedures to retire in Ireland, but non-EU nationals do. It's important to plan ahead and understand the application process, which can take up to four months. Income and Financial Requirements : Retirees need to prove sufficient income—€50,000 annually per individual, or €100,000 for a couple—as well as access to a lump sum of €320,000 to meet immigration requirements. Stamp Zero Explained : If you're retiring in Ireland as a non-EU national, you'll need to secure a Stamp Zero, which does not allow for economic activity, meaning you'll need to be self-sufficient with no reliance on public resources. Family Migration : Irish nationals can bring non-EU spouses or elderly parents to Ireland under family reunification policies. However, income thresholds apply, and the process involves several layers of documentation and proof of resources. Application Timing is Key : Start your renewal process six months before your permit’s expiration to avoid falling out of status. Missing deadlines can delay applications and affect your immigration status, but the Department of Justice may offer some flexibility depending on circumstances.

Claim more Tax Credits on your Irish Tax Return (SUMMER REPLAY) 15:46

för 25 weeks sedan15:46

15:46

Hey everyone, Stephanie Wickham here again, diving into the world of tax credits in Ireland. If you're an Irish taxpayer, this one's for you! Even if you're a PAYE employee and don't need to file a tax return, there may be some tax credits you're missing out on that could put a bit of extra cash back in your pocket. We'll chat about the different types of credits available, like the health insurance tax credit if your employer provides your cover, and the home carer tax credit for married couples with a stay-at-home parent.

Topping Up your UK State Pension Before It's Too Late! with Mel Morgan 21:02

för 27 weeks sedan21:02

21:02

In this episode of Tax Bytes for Expats, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mel Morgan from UKStatePensionAbroad.com . Mel and his wife, Martha, specialize in helping people maximize their UK state pension benefits as appointed agents of HM Revenue and Customs, even if they’ve left the UK years ago. We discuss how those with previous employment in the UK can top up their pension contributions and potentially boost their retirement income by thousands per year. Mel walks us through the simple but crucial process of determining eligibility, applying for back payments, and making sure everything is optimized to ensure the best outcome. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s worked in the UK and wants to understand how they can benefit from the UK’s state pension system, even if they’re living abroad. Whether you’ve spent just a few years in the UK or worked there long ago, there’s still time to act and secure this valuable pension opportunity. What is discussed in this episode: UK State Pension Eligibility: You need at least three consecutive years of employment in the UK to qualify for a UK state pension, regardless of how long ago you worked there. Class 2 vs. Class 3 Contributions: Most people can buy back years at the more affordable Class 2 rate, costing around £165 per year. Failing that, Class 3 contributions are still a great investment, albeit at a higher rate. Double Pension Benefits: You can receive both UK and Irish state pensions for the same years worked, as they are treated separately, similar to additional voluntary contributions (AVCs). Time Sensitivity of Applications: The window to top up your UK pension contributions closes on 5 April 2025 (with caveats) but Mel's team may stop accepting applications by November 2024 to manage demand, so submit your request quickly! Seek Expert Advice : Working with an expert like Mel can ensure your application is optimized for success, helping you avoid costly mistakes and navigate the complexities of dealing with UK Revenue and HMRC.
