Procedures for Applications and Claims by non-UK Residents under double taxation treaties

Under the terms of the United Kingdom/Ireland Double Taxation Convention members of the Screen Directors Collecting Society of Ireland (SDCSI) are required to register as tax resident in Ireland with the UK Inland Revenue in order to avoid double taxation. This is achieved by filing a standard UK Inland Revenue Double Taxation form known as Form FD12.

The Process is outlined below:

  1. The individual (or organisation) must obtain and complete Form FD12.

    This can be obtained from the UK tax office or, for certain territories, be downloaded from their website: www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/cnr

    • Scroll down to Tax and choose “Double Taxation relief claims”
    • Scroll down to Downloadable forms and choose Ireland
    • Choose the pdf which is relevant to you as either an individual or company
  2. The form must be completed with your personal details and sent to your LOCAL tax office eg. If you live in Bray you send the form to Wicklow District in Sandymount, where it will be certified that you are resident in Ireland for tax purposes.
  3. The form will be returned to you by the Revenue and this authorised form should then to be returned to:

    Inland Revenue,
    Centre for Non-Residents
    Fitz Roy House
    PO Box 46
