Taxes

    Hoping someone might be able to help.

    I'm a US citizen making less than $85k per annum working in Ireland.

    I know there is a double tax treaty between Ireland and the US. I'm not sure of the deatils, but I think I don't have to pay any taxes in the US whilst working in Ireland as long as my income is below $85k per annum. However, I believe I have to still file taxes. Can anyone clairfy this for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well it depends on a score of things- I'm not expert on US tax but I would guess if you are here on short term assignment they have primary taxing rights.

    Any of your employment duties excercised in Ireland give rise to a tax charge here. Your employer is oblidged to operate PAYE with effect from 1 Jan 2007.

    If your income is taxed in both jurisdictions then yes- you can apply to have a credit for the tax that is charged on the same income in both jurisdictions.

    If the US has primary taxing rights (as I presume they will if it's a short term assignment though you don't say) then you will need to file as US tax return to take acoount of the credit for Irish PAYE paid.

    I've done a similar exercise for a US citizen quite recently. It depends on a number of things but primarily it depends on your residency status. Although you may consider yourself resident in Ireland because you live here, from a tax perspective you may not. There are certain rules to determine your residency status. If you want more info, pm me with some more details and I may be able to help you.
