Question as above. I'll be working for the UK company mostly UK based but commuting, being paid a stg day rate. So should I be charging them VAT? Or should I be registering for VAT in the UK as someone suggested to me?
 
Not enough info to give a definitive answer - exactly what type of work will you be doing?
 
If they provide you with a UK VAT number then you need not charge them VAT - it's up to them to account for the VAT on it over there.

No matter what happens you aren't obliged to charge Irish VAT, as the place of supply for VAT purposes is the UK.

You should talk to your accountant though...
