It doesn't seem as if Revenue have much power to compel a foreign entity to register so what do they (Revenue) do then? Tell the person not to accept the work/money?
Of course not, in this case the person can only be self-employed.
The Revenue have powers to compel sister companies of the tax-doding company to pay the tax instead.
Certainly I think they would throw the book at the individual with various technical enquiries where the individual would need to empoloy his own tax-advisors for these technical questions. That is though, if they become aware.
You seem to be assuming this person is an employee as per the Revenue guidelines, but as a fully remote worker they quite possibly have considerable flexibility and control over their hours for example, which may be sufficient to qualify as self-employed. In any case, as a legitimate self-employed contractor I'm well aware that there are many large companies based here with numerous "independent contractors" who are in practice employees, .
Ah the old, "sure, don't they turn a blind eye to it - and will continue to do so" argument. As a tax-advisor, I had the terrible experience of having clients break down in tears on account of the offshore asset- and the bogus non-resident- accounts they held in the early noughties. They were told similar things then too, by local accountants and bank managers etc etc.
Especially with the increasing transparency in the tax-aorld internationally, and digitalisation .. .. .. well, lets just say its easier to discover tax-evasion. Such as yours.
Why do you keep going on about tax evasion? It has nothing to do with tax evasion. It is an increasingly common work practice albeit a pain in the........
If self employed here in Ireland and working for an American company, where do I pay my Taxes? Here it America???
