Will you be a contract agent or a temporary agent?I have the opportunity to take up a short-term, 12-month contract for the year 2025 in one of the EU institutions.
I don’t think so. You become tax resident in Belgium or Luxembourg or wherever the EU institution is. These are along the usual criteria of 180 days in the year, et cetera. Even if you stay working for this EU institution for life you never lose your Irish tax domicile.My understanding is that if I take the contract, I remain tax-resident in Ireland.
If you are a temporary agent your salary will not be taxable in any EU member state including Ireland. You will in fact pay some EU tax, but you will not be able to avail of tax relief on this EU tax. AFAIK if you are a contract agent you are taxed in the member state of employment.However I won't be paying tax here, which is standard for employees of EU institutions .
I really don’t see how you can claim tax relief in Ireland on tax you haven’t paid in Ireland.So my question is: when I return, will I be able to make an AVC and avail of Irish tax relief for 2025?
Will you be a contract agent or a temporary agent? The answer to your other questions depends to a large extent on that!Thanks all for the replies.
It's a short-term contract.Will you be a contract agent or a temporary agent? The answer to your other questions depends to a large extent on that!
But in general you can’t top up an AVC from rental income and get tax relief.
That doesn’t answer the question.It's a short-term contract.
It is B.Also is it one of:
A) Commission, Court of Justice, Court of Auditors, or Parliament.
B) ECB or EIB.
Ah okay. ECB and EIB different regimes from the other four institutions which are bound by what are called the Staff Regulations.It is B.
Careful! If you have a fixed-term tenancy you have to register with the RTB,I don't want to become a full time landlord or register with the RTB etc.
As far as I'm aware you only have to register with the RTB for tenancies of longer than six months.Careful! If you have a fixed-term tenancy you have to register with the RTB,
In your shoes you might want to consider some kind of caretaker arrangement or short-term corporate lets.
