Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting a tax refund if you are leaving Ireland
How much tax can I save by leaving Ireland early in the tax year?
Use the Leaving Ireland Tax Savings Calculator to identify a departure date that minimizes or eliminates income tax liability in your final year in Ireland.
What is split‑year treatment when moving abroad from Ireland?
Split-year treatment means you're taxed only on Irish-sourced employment income up to your departure date - allowing full tax credits even if you don't remain resident for the full calendar year.
Do I need to file an Irish tax return if I leave mid-year?
Yes - filing a Form 12 may be required to claim any tax refund or split-year relief and to confirm residency-based exemptions.
Can I avoid paying Irish income tax completely when emigrating?
If your departure date falls early enough in the year and you meet split-year eligibility, you may pay no Irish income tax in your year of departure.
Can I get a tax refund if I overpaid Irish tax before leaving?
Yes - you may claim a refund of overpaid tax upon departure, especially if split-year treatment reduces your actual tax liability.
Does the Leaving Ireland Tax Savings Calculator consider PAYE deductions?
Absolutely—our calculator factors in your PAYE tax credits and cumulative tax through payroll to estimate any refundable amounts.
Can I change my estimated results if my gross salary or departure date changes?
Yes - the calculator is dynamic. You can test various departure dates and salary levels to compare potential tax outcomes and savings.
What documentation do I need for split-year relief when leaving Ireland?
Evidence like your employment contract, formal resignation, and travel dates may be required when applying for split-year treatment to Revenue.
What date should I leave Ireland to pay the least amount of tax?
Leaving Ireland early in the tax year (typically before April) often results in the greatest tax savings, especially if you qualify for split-year treatment. Use our calculator to find the optimal departure date for minimising tax.

Once you become non-resident for tax purposes, only your Irish-sourced income (like rental income or dividends from Irish companies) remains taxable. Foreign income is usually exempt under Irish tax law.
