Your earnings will be tax free, if you are out of the country for longer than 183 days and 60 of those days are continuous, due to an employment contract regardless of where the money is paid. Therefore you will be tax free. See here: Can I claim a portion of my foreign income as exempt?

Deductions

Dividends
