Revenue Double Taxation Treaty Relief Application Form

Double taxation occurs when the same income is taxed in two different countries. If you're earning income in Ireland while being tax resident elsewhere—or vice versa—Ireland's network of double taxation treaties may entitle you to relief. This Revenue Double Taxation Treaty Relief Application Form is designed to help individuals and businesses claim that relief in a compliant, structured way.

Whether you're a foreign company receiving Irish-source dividends, interest or royalties, or an Irish resident earning income abroad, this template guides you through the key information Irish Revenue requires: your tax residency status, the nature and source of your income, the applicable treaty, and supporting documentation such as a Certificate of Residence from your home tax authority.

The form captures essential details including your Tax Identification Number (TIN) in both jurisdictions, the tax year in question, income types covered, any foreign tax already paid, and the relief method you're applying for—whether exemption, credit, or reduced withholding rate. By bringing all this information together in one submission, you streamline the application process and reduce the risk of delays or rejections.

Who this form is for

This template is ideal for tax advisors, accountants, CFOs, compliance officers and finance managers working with clients or employers who have cross-border tax obligations. It's also suited to legal professionals, company secretaries and anyone responsible for managing Ireland's corporate or personal tax compliance in international contexts.

If your business frequently deals with Revenue treaty relief claims—perhaps as part of payroll for international assignees, dividend repatriation, or royalty structures—having a standardised, brandable form helps maintain consistency, accuracy and professionalism across your client base or internal teams.
