Hi,

I am in a confusing position at the moment with regards my contract and looking for some advice. Apologies if this is a bit long-winded

I am working abroad for an Irish company for whom I have been employed with for 2 and half years. I was sent from head office to work on a project here in South Africa back in July and I have still not finalised my contract terms. I have agreed my terms and benefits, its just how the contracts are to be finalised and how the money will be paid. Originally my contract was due to be split, half paid from an Isle of of Man subsidiary and most of the remaining portion paid by a sister company here in South Africa once I secured my long term working visa. A small part of the contract was then due be paid in Ireland by head office so as to keep my employment service going with the company, PRSI, VHI , Pension etc..

Unfortunately our parent company has come in and said they will not support me having 2 employment contracts, i.e. on in South Africa and one in Ireland. That would mean having the Isle of Man contract and realistically the South African contract as after 6 months I have to be paid in country here to keep my working permit. I was hoping someone could give me some advice what this would mean to me by giving up my Irish contract? Apologies I am really clueless on this front.

Also I have worked out the country for more than 183 days this year so I am not liable to Irish tax, is this correct? I was going to open an account in the Isle of Man but I don't think this is necessary.

Any advice someone could give me on this matter would be great. I know i probably haven't explained the situation with too much clarity but I'm not sure what to do here.

Thanks,
