    I may be moving to work in another country for a few years. The move may happen in the 2nd half of the year, meaning i will have spent more than 183 days in ireland in the tax year.

    Does this mean

    - i will pay tax on my earnings overseas for the rest of the year?
    - if moving abroad to work, you are better to do it in the first half of the tax year to avoid being taxed on overseas earnings?

    Refer to the double taxation agreement between Ireland and wherever you are going. Steps in this agreement will reduce the chances of paying double tax. Also look up ordinary resident to broaden your understanding of the subject.

    Also look up the split year relief which you may be able to claim. Treats you as resident in Ireland only up to date of departure if you satisfy the conditions of this relief - mainly that you intend to be non resident in Ireland in next year (2017).

    Just to be clear, the exclusion available under split year treatment is in respect of employment income only. If the OP has significant non employment income, especially if he will be self employed/freelance abroad, he needs to take this into account.
