Tax and Revenue Information

 

Individuals may be able to offset the taxation deducted on these claims against their overall tax liability in their country of tax residence.

Reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses in line with the University’s travel policy is allowable tax-free for external examiners, quality assuarance reviewers and subject specialists. The element of the fee related to duties carried out outside of Ireland is not taxed in Ireland.

Register your University of Galway job with Revenue for Tax purposes

  2. If you were paid in Ireland before and already registered with Revenue PAYE - You do not need to do anything as your employer (University of Galway) will request your tax credits from Revenue. If this is your second or multiple job you can split your tax details between jobs as outlined here.
