    Hi all,
    I'm sorry if this question has been posted already, I couldn't find one.
    My fiancé and I are moving from Dublin so he can take up a job in Letterkenny. We have heard Derry is a really nice city and would like to live there. What are the issues with taxation? Do we continue to pax our tax in the republic as before? I currently work freelance (from home) with companies north and south of the border and pay my tax in the republic.
    Thanks for any help :)

    You are asking a question while at the outset seems straight forward, is not really straight forward.

    This is due to the following items
    • Domicile
    • Residence
    • Ordinary Residence
    What it could mean that you end up having to pay tax in ROI and NI, but you would get a credit for tax you paid.

    Also there is a relief called Cross border relief for those that work on one side of the border and live on the other.

    You may want to consider what taxes you would be due to pay if you lived in (along with obviously all the other issues - cost of living, etc)
    • ROI
    • NI

    Thanks for your answer,
    It might be worth just staying the ROI side to avoid the hassle!:)

    Had a friend with the same problem. Basically, you pay less tax in the South than in the North. If you are living in the North and working (therefore paying tax)in South, the tax man in the North will look to recover the difference.

    eg if your salary in the South means you pay 1000 tax, and in the North it would be 1500, the Northern revenue would look for the difference of 500.

    hi

    i have a similar issue with work at the moment. My office is in the UK but I have asked for flexible working so that i could spend maybe half my time working from my girlfriends house in Dublin. My job is IT so all i need is an internet connection.

    I am a UK resident and I thought it wouldnt be a problem but HR have said there would be additional costs to the company. I thought it wouldnt be an issue cos I wouldnt be claiming anything from the Irish govt and would probably be spending as much time if not more in the UK than in RoI.

    Any advice?
