I am a British taxpayer, currently living in Ireland, I have not worked while I've been here and will be working for an Irish company in the UK. Should I register in Ireland for tax or continue paying tax in the UK? I won't be staying in Ireland long term. Any tips on tax "avoidance" welcome.
IT all depends on where you intend spending the bulk of your earnings. If it is in Ireland, then you are better off getting paid in Euros to avoid convertion charges, however if it is in the UK, then pounds will be better and cheaper to handle. Since you say you will be working in the UK and you don't intend to stay in Ireland for too long, I think the latter makes better sense. Earn in Pound Sterling, Pay tax in Pounds and spend more in Pounds. It's a pity, it's hard to avoid income tax. id="askers-rating">
Was hoping someone who knew what they were talking about answered this, this is at least common sense, not great, or informative. I would hate any of the rest to get best answer, so on the basis this is not complete rubbish, you win the 10 points..
