The number of people resident in Ireland but registered as paying tax elsewhere increased more than five-fold between 2014 and 2019, it has emerged.

Some 31,300 individuals registered themselves as non-domiciled in the State for tax purposes in their tax returns in 2019, according to new figures from the Department of Finance. That represents a jump of 25,700 from the figure of 5,600 noted in 2014, a 459% increase.
