(b) (i) is subject to the provisions of Part III of Schedule 6 to the Income Tax Act, 1967, or
(ii) would be so subject, if the employment were deemed to be property situated where the employment is exercised, or

(4) Nothwithstanding anything contained in the Acts, the income, profits or gains from an office or employment shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed not to include any amounts paid in respect of expenses incurred wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of the duties of the office or employment.

and
(b) by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (2):
“(3) Notwithstanding subsection (2), where an individual who is not resident in the State proves to the satisfaction of the Revenue Commissioners that the individual is a resident of another Member State of the European Union and that the proportion which the portion of the individual's income which is subject to Irish tax bears to the individual's total income from all sources (including income which is not subject to Irish tax) is three-fourths or greater, subsection (1) or, as the case may be, subsection (2) shall not apply to that individual and he or she shall be entitled to the allowance, deduction or other benefit mentioned in subsection (1).”.

(2) Where an application is made under subsection (1), the Appeal Commissioners shall hear and determine the question concerned in like manner as an appeal made to them against an assessment and all the provisions of the Acts relating to such an appeal (including the provisions relating to the rehearing of an appeal and to the statement of a case for the opinion of the High Court on a point of law) shall apply accordingly with any necessary modifications.
157 Repeals.
157.—(1) Sections 76 (4), 199 and 206 of the Income Tax Act, 1967, and section 4 of the Finance Act, 1987, are hereby repealed.
