Working abroad - getting paid to Ireland

myflipflops

Anybody ever worked abroad for a foreign company but got the salary paid into an Irish bank account?

I'm considering doing this with my current job but an unsure of the tax implications. My British colleague does it without a problem to his UK account but I think I would be liable for remittance tax.

Anybody enlighten me further?

A similar basis of taxation applies in the Republic of Ireland. The remittance basis of assessment applies to foreign sourced income (including UK sourced income effective from 01 January 2008). It provides that for any tax year during which you are not Irish domiciled, or if you are an Irish citizen who is not ordinarily resident in Ireland, you will only be taxable to the extent you bring that income into Ireland.

SRASE

The remittance basis of tax applies to an Irish resident who is not ordinarily resident or domicilied in Ireland.

A non resident who is ordinarily resident and domiciled in Ireland is taxed on worldwide income except for:
Profits from foreign trade/profession
Employment income from foreign employment
Other foreign income if not exceeding €3,810

The trade or employment must be performed abroad with only incidental tasks (if any) carried out in Ireland
