    Hi Guys,

    just a question on this, I am working overseas now, if i was to go back to Ireland to get a job what is the story regarding PAYE, I have not worked in Ireland for years. Do I need to declare what i earned abroad, dates worked etc.

    No. And if you start work mid-year you will pay bugger all tax because your earnings for the tax year will be lower than normal.

    And if you arrive 183(*) days into the year, you will not be liable to pay tax here that year becasue you were not tax-resident.


    * check the number/date with Revenue, in case it's changed since 2007 when I last looked at it.

    They recently changed the rules. All money earned in Ireland, whether you are resident in Ireland, or not, is now liable for Irish tax. So, if you work in Ireland whether you are paid here or not, you pay tax on what you earn here.

    The non tax residency now only applies to Dual Tax Agreements, where you earn money in Ireland while living abroad, or earn money abroad while living in Ireland.

    But, in the OP's case, if you are employed here, you pay tax here. Simples.

    Let me clarify.

    If you return to Ireland to work, only what you earn when you are living here will be of interest to Revenue. There is no need to declare any past income, earned outside of Ireland to Revenue, as it was not taxable here.

    If you return to Ireland, and have income (rental or investment, etc.) from other countries, as well as earnings here, them you will need to declare that income, but only from the time you move back to Ireland.

    Also, if you move back to Ireland mid year, you will pay less tax than if you had been in Ireland all year. This is due to having a full year's tax credits, but obviously, not a full year's earnings. The year after you move back, your tax will increase, and take home pay decrease, as your tax credits will be spread out over entire year.
