Image: Leah Farrell/Rollingnews THE CO-LEADER OF THE Social Democrats has raised concerns about the “relaxation” in the residency rules for Irish tax exiles as a result of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

Normally, people have to spend more than 183 days in the country to be liable for taxes but Revenue waived that due to the exceptional circumstances that have arisen from the pandemic. “Essentially, there’s a high degree of social solidarity being displayed at the moment and taxation is the essence of social solidarity.

Under guidelines issued by Revenue, individual will not be regarded as being present in the State for tax residence purposes for the day after the intended day of departure “provided the individual is unavoidably present in the State on that day due only to ‘force majeure’ circumstances”.

I view this as a health issue and not political so stop this. If someone is stuck in a place, not there fault.

Penalise a delivery worker for parking in a disabled space but accommodate the fat cats we see what’s going on here

Amazing story came out same day as tax exiles, who are usually limited to spend only 183 days in Ireland, will be allowed to remain longer this year, w/out taxation consequences, if they prove to Revenue they were forced to stay because of the coronavirus.' Spindoctors at work
