I have been advised by Revenue, that Ireland and the Netherlands regularly exchange tax information under the provisions of the Ireland-Netherlands Double Taxation Convention and Council Directive 2011/16/EU on Administrative Cooperation in the Field of Taxation.

The exchange of information carried out under these legal agreements is governed by strict confidentiality provisions and the details of any specific exchanges that have taken place between the Irish and Dutch tax authorities cannot be disclosed. As a result, it is not possible to provide any further details.
