Foreign Earning deduction
Foreign earnings deduction
If you are based in Ireland but spend time working in certain countries such as China and India you are entitled to a deduction proportionate to number of days working there
For example:
You work for a private company with operations in China
You earn €75,000 per annum
You spend 70 days in China
Therefore you are entitled to a deduction of €14,383 ( 75k * 70/365)
from your gross pay before it is taxed.
This is subject to qualifying conditions
