Absentee Tax was a tax of four shillings in the pound levied in Ireland in 1715 on the incomes and pensions of absentees. It was long complained of and was abolished in 1753. A tax of two shillings in the pound was proposed in 1773 by Flood and in 1783 by Molyneux, but neither attempt to reinstate the tax were successful.
