Moved back from UK, Income Tax query

    Hi there,
    I had a quick look to see if there was any other similar threads but I didn't find any.
    My wife moved back to Ireland to work in May 2012 after been in the UK five years.
    In 2102 she earned in the UK from Jan to April and then in Ireland form May to December.
    As the tax year in the UK ends at the start of April, she paid tax on all income earned for the period Jan 12 to Mar 12. She reclaimed the tax paid on her income in April 2012 from the HMRC as they had entered a new tax year.
    She started earning and paying Irish tax on the 1st May 12.
    A week one basis was applied from May 12 to December 12, is this correct? Should she not be on cumulative?
    Also, will the double tax rule apply for her income form Jan 12 to March 12, and as she got a tax refund for April 12, will she have to include it for her y/e 2012 tax return?
    I hope the above makes sense!

    Tax year in the UK April to April

    Tax year in Ireland Jan to December.

    As such the UK income tax is taxable in Ireland.

    However.

    She should claim S 822 relief on the income earned prior to her arriving which means she is only resident from the date of arrival and as such the income earned Jan to April 2012 would not be subject to Irish tax.

    Otherwise one would have to do an effective rate calculation for the UK tax suffered which is a pain.
