Income Tax while working in Dubai

MrSparkle

Hi,

I know this has been asked a lot sorry.

I will be moving to Dubai to work for a few years and I'm wondering about the tax implications in Ireland.

I will be working for an American company and my salary will be paid into an account in Dubai.

Looking at various websites and this pdf on Revenue.ie http://www.revenue.ie/en/practitioner/law/double/united-arab-emirates.pdf and also this page http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/res1.html#section1

If I am not in Ireland for more than 183 days in one tax year or 280 days in 2 years I do not pay tax here, is this correct?

The answer is you are correct, also you should remember split year as per this link http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/residence.html

MrSparkle

Thank you for the reply and link.

Is this all I have to worry about on that page?

"Person Emigrating: (resident year of departure; non-resident following year.)
Continue to be regarded as resident up to the date of departure and are liable to pay income tax on all income arising up to that date. Generally, full tax credits are allowable on a cumulative basis."




One last thing and I'm set. When is says the following:
"280 days over two years - ie. current and preceding tax year, minimum 30 days in each year."

For this preceding tax year, I have been in Ireland all year, does this mean I will be taxed for the following 1 1/2 years pretty much?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, from the wording it looks like it counts this past year as the preceding tax year and that I will be taxed.

This is high level tax advice and you should really have your employers pay for this.

You will not find the answer in generic info.

By virtue of a Irish located employment your employer is oblidged to register in Ireland and account for Irish PAYE and PRSI on your employment income.

You will have to pay Irish tax. There are exemptions but I'm not going into them.
