Am I liable for income tax?

[BlackCoffee]

I have been working out of Ireland in the Middle East for the past 20+ years and would have spent no more than 2 or 3 weeks in Ireland on any given year during that time. I own a property in Ireland and have also maintained bank accounts but would be considered nonresident. I am also up to date with my NPPR/Property tax, TV tax, septic tank tax etc. I never rented out my property so no Irish income would have been earned from that.

I am returning to Ireland in early June for an extended period of time, call it a sojourn/sabbatical whatever, for around 12~18 months, and I would end up spending more than the 183 days in country for 2014 and 2015. During this time I will be living off my savings, not seeking employment nor seeking any state handouts.

As I am coming back mid tax year would I be considered liable for income tax on my salary earned during the first half of 2014?

Thanks in advance if anyone has an opinion to share.

Someone else will post the domestic rules re Irish residency - don't have them to hand and am not as au-fait as I should be with them.

But if there is a Double Tax Treaty between Ireland and this country you're returning from - that could trump the domestic rules.

Any proper examination will have to have regard to where you're returning from ...
