Question re taxation and the 183 day rule

Pat Mustard 1111111111111

You’re considered resident in Ireland for tax purposes if you spend 183 or more days there in a tax year or 280 days in two consecutive tax years.

Does 'Ireland' include Northern Ireland or is Northern Ireland considered a separate country,
and the tax law only applies then to residents living within the Republic of Ireland?


Thanks.

From what I understand, Northern Ireland is technically not an area covered by Republic of Ireland tax laws ie. When you're up north it counts as being out of the country from Revenues perspective.
From working in the maritime industry I have heard of lads being audited by Revenue who were able to avoid tax residency as they had spent 1/2 weeks up north etc.

Thanks for the reply.

All the citizen information stuff and the revenue website keeps referring to 'Ireland' which is very ambiguous. To me that means the whole island, but surely it cant because it's part of the UK.

Jesus; “Ireland” is not in he slightest bit ambiguous. It is the name of the country whose capital is Dublin, of which Michael D Higgins is president and of which the Dáil and Seanad form the bicameral legislature the acts of which hold sway in Ireland. If one was of the SF persuasion, one would likely refer to it as “The Twenty-six Counties” rather than its proper name, Ireland.
