Hi,
I’ve had a read through a lot of forum posts here and found some really valuable information. I’m hoping I might be able to get some advice about a situation I’m in that has my head spinning with the contradictory info I’ve read and heard.
Over the past two and a half years, I’ve worked for a UK business. However, I’m based in the Republic of Ireland, working from home to do this role. I travel to the UK office for three days each fortnight.
Since I started working from abroad for the UK Company, I’ve paid my PAYE and NI to the UK. However, I am an Irish resident and am slightly concerned that a tax bill could be hiding in the wings somewhere for the future.
I understand the “double taxation treaty” is in place between the UK and Ireland to avoid double taxation occurring.
However, I’ve also read that the employee is liable to pay the higher tax contribution of the two countries. If this is the case, then I’d expect to owe the Irish government monies due to them having higher rates (at least with the new universal social charge).
I’d imagine this situation is becoming more common an increasing number of people working-from-home and traveling between countries these days. However, I am struggling to find much in the way of definitive answers to where to pay tax.
Any help or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.
