DIRT for Non-Residents

RayJ · 2014-05-31 09:21:12

I am Irish but live in Australia. Recently due to the slightly higher AUD I have transferred a lot of $$$ back to €€€ as I expect the AUD to fall by the end of the year. What do I do with my cash in Ireland? I am slightly bearish on the markets with many at highs so am thinking of going back to old-fashioned bank accounts…

I am Irish but live in Australia. Recently due to the slightly higher AUD I have transferred a lot of $$$ back to €€€ as I expect the AUD to fall by the end of the year.

What do I do with my cash in Ireland? I am slightly bearish on the markets with many at highs so am thinking of going back to old-fashioned bank accounts for the short term.

But the rates are low - someone mentioned to me previously that if you are non-resident that you are exempt from DIRT. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this? It would make accounts such as Nationwide's 4% regular saver reasonably ok.

Appreciate your advice as I'm unfamiliar with the Irish market these days.

Thanks.
