Hi - Its not clear from your comments on tax status where you have actually lived for the past three years. There is a category 'resident but not ordinarily resident' which you could discuss with the Revenue. Leaflet RP2 provides a broad outline of the features of Residential Property Tax. You can get that from your local Tax offices or:
The Revenue Commissioners,
Residential Property Tax Advisory Service,
Capital Taxes Division,
Dublin Castle,
Dublin 2.
and discuss your situation in detail or the Revenue Helpline at:
