I have an opportunity to work iwith my company in the US for 1 year and have some flexibility around exactly when I take it up.

I was wondering if there were any tax advantages to when I go - would it be better (Tax Wise) to go at the start, middle or end of the tax year?
 
As an estimate I would say when your salary is 5 times your credits

example
Annual Salary 52.5K
Annual Credits 3.5K (approx for single person)
Assume SRCOP 32K (single person)
Adjust the figures below for your personnal basis
After 4 months your salary would be something like this
Salary 17.5K
Taxed 10.67K @ 20% = 2,134
Taxed 6.83K @42% = 2,870
Total Tax 5,004
Credits 1,167
Tax Paid 3,837

Revenue then reassess your position as follows
Actual salary 17.5
tax @ 20% 3.5
Credits 3.5
Tax due Nil
Tax paid 3,837
tax to be repaid 3,837
It can take a few week to get your tax back but you can give bank details and they will lodge the details direct to your bank account
