RemitEase is a tax planning tool built for non-Irish domiciled residents of Ireland. It calculates the most tax-efficient way to bring money into Ireland each year under the remittance basis of taxation. You enter your income, gains, and spending needs, and RemitEase produces a year-byyear strategy covering up to 5 years -- including which money to remit, how much tax you'll pay, and a professional PDF report to share with your accountant.

No. RemitEase is a planning tool, not a tax return. It helps you model your situation, understand the numbers, and prepare a structured report that makes your accountant's job easier. Your accountant can then validate the strategy, apply any reliefs or exemptions RemitEase doesn't cover, and prepare your actual tax filing.

The onboarding wizard takes under 2 minutes. Completing your first year's data typically takes 5- 10 minutes if you have your documents handy. From Year 2 onwards, you can copy forward from the previous year -- so each additional year takes just a couple of minutes.

The savings depend entirely on your situation -- your Irish income, foreign income, pre-residency capital, and spending needs. Some users save tens of thousands of euros per year by remitting their money in the right order. The key insight is that not all money is taxed equally, and the order in which you bring it to Ireland matters enormously.

The remittance basis is a rule in Irish tax law that applies to people who are tax resident in Ireland but not Irish-domiciled. Under this rule, your foreign income and foreign capital gains are only taxed in Ireland if you actually bring ("remit") them into the country. Money you earn abroad and keep abroad is not subject to Irish tax.

This is different from the worldwide basis, where Irish citizens are taxed on all their global income regardless of where it's kept.

The Traffic Light System is how RemitEase categorises your money by tax cost when remitted to Ireland:

Green Money (0% tax) -- Capital you accumulated before becoming an Irish tax resident. Savings, property sales, investments from before you moved. This can be brought into Ireland completely tax-free.

Amber Money (33% tax) -- Capital gains you earn abroad after becoming resident. Profit from selling foreign shares, property, or other assets. Taxed at 33% Capital Gains Tax if remitted.

Red Money (up to ~52% tax) -- Income you earn abroad after becoming resident. Foreign salary, rental income, dividends, interest. Taxed at your marginal rate -- income tax at up to 40%, plus USC and PRSI.

Your financial data is stored securely in your account. RemitEase does not share your data with third parties. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

If you were born and raised outside Ireland and have not taken steps to make Ireland your permanent home, you are most likely non-Irish domiciled. If you're unsure, ExpatTaxes.ie offers consultations specifically on this.
