    I am would like to know the laws regarding an Irish citizen, working for a UK based company with which I pay tax in the UK currently.
    I will be going Offshore for a 3 on 3 off rotation.
    I would like to know if I am exempt on paying Tax on my earnings as it's offshore?
    I have worked in the middle East and was exempt from paying tax here as I was a non resident.

    I'm not familiar with offshore taxation but any tips or advice would be appreciated.

    Where will you be living when you're not working?

    Im not sure if its relevant. Slightly different but I've a friend working on commercial shipping vessels (could be on any route in the world depends where he is needed). 3 months on 3 months off family live in ireland and he lives here here during the time off and he doesn't pay a cent of tax on his (large) salary.

    If he's not paying PRSI then he'll never get the state contributory pension! :D

    Also, down the road, his kids may have a problem qualifying for things like SUSI grants!

    I suspect anybody under 40 won’t get that when it’s their turn
