Understanding Irish Tax Residency

Your tax residency status determines how much Irish tax you pay. The main factors include:

Resident vs Non-Resident Status

  • Irish Resident: Present in Ireland for 183 days or more in a tax year
  • Non-Resident: Present for less than 183 days but may still have Irish tax obligations
  • Ordinary Resident: Been Irish resident for three consecutive tax years
  • Domiciled: Ireland is your permanent home or country of origin

Understanding these classifications is crucial as they affect your tax rates, available credits, and filing requirements. Our specialists provide personalized assessments to determine your exact status and obligations.

Foreign nationals may need to file annual tax returns depending on their income sources and residency status. We provide comprehensive support for:

Emergency Tax Relief

Many foreign nationals initially pay emergency tax when starting work in Ireland. This higher rate continues until proper tax documentation is processed. We expedite the process to get you on the correct tax rate and help claim refunds for overpaid emergency tax.
