Cross Border worker - PAYE refund or not

    I finished work in Republic of Ireland on 4th Jan 2008. After finishing work I had some further bonus payments which were not included in my P45.

    I started work in Northern Ireland under UK tax laws on the 21st January and am there since.

    I am looking to claim back tax paid in the republic for year 2008 as my earnings in the Republic did not breach tax free ceiling for the year. The tax office tells me my Northern Ireland income will also be taken into account before deciding whether I'm eligible for any tax rebate.

    I would've thought working and paying tax in another country would be separate to any obligations in the republic.

    I reside in the republic and travel into the north daily to work.

    Any info would be appreciated,

    Thanks in advance.

    If you are Irish Resident and domiciled you are liable to tax in Ireland on your worldwide income.

    Your UK employment income will be liable to UK tax as it is performed in the UK.

    There are relieving provisions under the UK Ireland Double Taxation agreement where income is taxed in both jurisdictions.

    In addition there is a relief under S 825A for cross border workers that will probably apply in your case. This means that where your employment duties are carried out wholly outside the state in a DTA country you will not be subject to Irish tax.

    Please read the charter re specific tax advice.

    Your income would need to be declared as you are resident in Ireland but you can claim cross border relief or as the previous poster stated there is a double taxation agreement in place (a list of the countries should be up on the revenue website) where your worldwide income is taken into account. Revenue apportion your tax credits on the amount of your income that is earned in Ireland over your total amount earned (Irish + worldwide).

    In short this means that while you must declare it, you wont be paying tax on it. :)

    Similar question, but I have been living and working in the UK for approx. 9 months and intend on returning to the ROI within the next few weeks.

    I was just wondering if I am eligible to claim for any form of a tax refund from the UK gov.?
