View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that it is not possible to identify the number of Irish citizens claiming to be non-resident for tax purposes. Income tax returns do not request data on citizenship as the question of whether or not a person is an Irish citizen has no general relevance for tax purposes.
