Tax payments for a UK National moved to Ireland

    Hi there

    I'm looking for any advice on my tax situation as it's a little complicated...Essentially, I am a UK citizen who has moved to Ireland with my Irish boyfriend.

    I am looking for full time work in Ireland, where I will most likely be taxed via PAYE.

    At the same time, I have income from the UK from a) a rental property and b) a small business I'm part owner of. I pay tax on both of these incomes to the UK government via an annual self assessment tax return.

    My UK accountant thinks the simplest route will be paying PAYE tax in Ireland and carry on completing my UK self assessment form, therefore the Irish government gets the tax on money I earn in Ireland and the British government gets their for the UK earnings; but the accountants say they are not experts on Irish tax or the Double Tax Treaty. So the stumbling blocks I have are:

    1) In the UK everyone has a personal allowance, which is the sum you are entitled to earn before you start paying tax. In 2012/13 tax year this is £8,105. Does anyone know what the Irish personal allowance is (if indeed there is one). In all likelihood the Double Tax Treaty means I'll only be allowed one allowance, not both

    2) Can I nominate which allowance I would like to use or is this entirely dictated by my residency? The UK accountant thought the fact I have a working income from the UK would make me eligible for dual residency, which may allow me to chose where I claim my personal allowance

    3) Slightly separate issue, but I am not sure how to make PRSI contributions in Ireland. Is this deducted from wage or do I have to sign up somewhere?

    If these questions are too specialised, I’d really appreciate any recommendations for an accountant who works on this kind on thing.

    Thanks so much for any help in advance & sorry for the lengthy post!

    wow- Get better accountants. Seriously. Cross Border taxation is not difficult. This idiot will end up costing you money.

    Thread locked. Specific advice is against the charter.

    I'll PM you the answer on the promise that you get rid of that clown and hire someone competent.
