A Ukrainian citizen who was tax-resident in Ireland was considering a move to Portugal and evaluating holding-company or trust options for privately held assets.

Material challenge

The planning had to address overlapping residence rules, potential double taxation, CRS reporting and asset-protection objectives across several jurisdictions.
