Expatriate tax ebook - Ireland
Tax planning opportunities
Where a foreign employment continues to exist and part of the expatriate's duties are performed outside of Ireland, any employment income received in respect of the foreign duties will remain outside the charge of Irish tax, provided the income is not remitted to Ireland.
The Irish Revenue Authority has recently confirmed that certain travel expenses for short term expatriates can be paid tax free subject to certain conditions.
Most tax planning involves the structuring of employment arrangements to take advantage of various tax concessions. Grant Thornton Ireland's expatriate tax team can advise expatriates and their employers on these and related opportunities.
