Taxes on RSUs vesting while granted in another country

I joined Microsoft in Ireland. There I got RSUs granted that would go into my US Fidelity account. When vesting I would roughly pay 50 % of taxes on those to the Irish government. I then moved to the US but I am still getting RSUs that I initially got granted in Ireland since they vest over a period of 5 years. Now in the US the taxes on those stocks are much lower. The question came up whether I need to pay taxes to the irish government on the RSUs granted there generally and especially considering the tax percentage is so much higher in Ireland. So basically would I need to pay taxes on those RSUs to Ireland?

Taxes on RSUs vesting while granted in another country

You would not be liable for taxes in Ireland for RSU shares that vested while a US resident.

 

Here's more detailed info from Irish Tax Revenue.

 

For more info on how the US handles this, see RSU's and Taxes

 

If you vested/sold on the same day, you may get a 1099-B to report the sale, and should end up with a small gain/loss when entering in TurboTax.
