I'm wondering can anybody help me. I am employed by a non-Irish oil and gas company. I am domiciled and ordinary resident in Ireland, but non-resident for this year (less than 280 days in Ireland over the last 2 years and less than 183 days this year). I believe I am therefore exempt from paying Irish tax. Do I need to show the Irish government that I am paying tax elsewhere? The reason I ask is, due to the nature of this employment I have been in many different countries throughout the year, and do not classify as a resident in any other country.
 
Hi. No you do not have to prove to the Irish Revenue that you are paying tax elsewhere to exempt the income from Irish tax. If, as you say, you are non resident but ordinarily resident in Ireland for 2010 you are not liable to Irish tax on employment income provided all duties are performed outside Ireland (you are allowed a certain number of "incidental" workdays in Ireland). You may of course have tax exposures in the countries where you do carry out your duties.

Breninio, cheers for the quick reply. That answered my question perfectly.
