Plain-English guides to the tax and pension rules Irish investors actually hit. UK guides are on pegora.co.uk.
Structure confirmed, numbers not. What the new Investment Account is, why it follows Sweden rather than the UK, and the three figures Budget day decides.
Two tax events, two regimes, one of them handled for you. The vest is pay; the sale is capital gains nobody reports but you — sell-to-cover included.

Yes — every euro is taxable, rent-a-room relief doesn't apply, and Revenue already has your figures under DAC7. What to file, what to deduct, catching up.
Yes — swaps are disposals, CGT falls due before the return, and exchanges now report you to Revenue under DAC8. The deadlines, and the four-week rule.
When an Irish PAYE worker actually has to file — rentals, shares, ETFs, crypto and inheritances, with the real deadlines. Plain English, no scare tactics.
