Working in the uk

Too

I have been in full time employment in Ireland for 10 years but in July I am taking up a 12 month contract in England. I may end up staying in UK or moving back to Ireland after that but I won't know that until next year. My family will stay in Ireland for the 12 months and I will come home some weekends and holidays. I plan on bringing my car with me. From my understanding of the Revenue website I will have to pay my tax in Ireland as I will be resident here for tax purposes for 2013. Is this right?

Also if I end up staying in the UK for a number of years can I claim tax back later?

Also am I mad to think that I can just bring my car over and not register it in UK ( I know limit is 6 months but what are chances that nobody will notice). I intend telling my insurance company in Ireland.

Thanks for advice.

I did the same in 2009, July in fact.
Wife stayed in Ireland.
I was able to claim some tax back for that year from Ireland.
UK tax year starts in April, so you will get a few months tfa in your first month which is a nice bonus also.
Regarding the car, the thing I would watch out for is the insurance cover.

After 6 months you may have to pay UK tax, there are lots of complicated rules.

"If you are here for 183 days or more in a tax year, you are resident in the UK. There are no exceptions to this."
