Relocating within Ireland

Not a lot of people know this, but if you’re relocating within Ireland then there are a number of expenses you can claim which will boost your retention rate over the first few months of your new contract. The more popular ones are the cost of your travel to your new location, the cost of your hotels, B&B’s initially, and then the cost of your rent for a period of time.

If relocation is required to take up a role, considerable expenses applicable to your move can be claimed. You’ll benefit from immediate tax relief as we offset these against your pay.
