    I was hoping someone can help with this.

    If I am working outside the EU for a british company say for a year and the british company is paying me but transferring my pay into my Irish bank account would I have to pay PRSI etc on this? I would be a contractor to the british company.


    Sorry if that sounds confusing...

    Depends where you fiscally attached to.
    If you take a contract up in Dubai, no point being attached to Ireland. you will be almost no taxes in Dubai.
    If you work in the middle of Africa, you would be better off being attached to the Irish tax system.

    Don't listen to this guy. He has no clue what he writes about.

    First of all, you are supposed to pay taxes in country of your residence.
    If you reside in Ireland you have to pay taxes here. If you reside in Dubai you pay (or don't) taxes there. Same to do with insurance.

    This applies to both companies and private persons and there are different taxes and different laws for them.

    There are also double taxation problems. Depending on whether the two countries have a treaty, you may need to pay double tax. Read on:

    I would suggest you call the tax office and ask them.
