Close Irish Bank Account
Revenue non-resident update, DIRT certificate, AIB/BOI closure, EUR wire.
The 60-second version
Irish bank wind-down needs Revenue Form 12/11 exit, DIRT interest certificate, closure letter from AIB/BOI/Revolut IE, and EUR remittance to NRE.
Revenue non-resident date drives final Irish return
Ireland taxes worldwide income while resident — notify Revenue of departure and file Form 11/12 part-year if needed.
DIRT withheld on interest — certificate from bank for Form 67 India credit.
Close AIB, Bank of Ireland, or Revolut IE after zero balance; retain IBAN closure email.
