Moving or returning to Ireland
Split-year treatment in your year of arrival
You can request split-year treatment on your employment income in the year you arrive if:
- you move to Ireland during that year
- and
- you are going to be resident in Ireland for the next calendar year.
Split-year treatment means that you are treated as resident in Ireland from the date you arrive. All your employment income from that date is taxed in the normal way. Generally, full tax credits are allowable on a cumulative basis.
Split-year treatment applies to employment income only.
