Having been working in ireland for last 10 yrs, i move to canada to work for 1 year from july 1 2004 till june 30 2005 (canadian government employee for this year) and then i will return to work in ireland again after this.
Am i considered fully resident in ireland for both 2004 and 2005 tax years and if so,
1. will i be taxed in ireland on my canadian earnings(with relief for canadian tax paid) ?
2. can i get tax relief on rent paid in canada(as my principle private residence in ireland has not been rented as i would have stamp duty liability if i did this)
3. can i also get tax relief on flight costs to/from canada ?
4. is there a foreign earnings deduction available ?
thanks in advance

Obviously your residency/domicile status is relevant here as is the double taxation agreement mentioned above.

2. can i get tax relief on rent paid in canada(as my principle private residence in ireland has not been rented as i would have stamp duty liability if i did this)

I very much doubt it. I presume that rent relief is only granted to people renting in Ireland.

3. can i also get tax relief on flight costs to/from canada ?

Are you self employed or PAYE? If you are self employed and still taxed in Ireland then I presume that such costs might be considered normal business expenses. If you are PAYE then there may be some sort of expenses relief available but I'm not sure...

4. is there a foreign earnings deduction available ?
