Employees Taxed with Families Abroad

    A number of staff at the company where I am working have wife and children living back in Poland and various other countries but are taxed as single persons here because their spouse does not have a PPSN. Social welfare refuse to issue a PPSN to someone living abroad and state that they will not issue one to a foreign national who is not working here even if they are residing here or supposedly residing here. I suppose the spouse could be working back in the home country but in most cases they are homecarers rather than workers. Revenue will not give a tax credit without a PPSN. This seems to be an inequitable situation considering they are all EU nationals.

    These guys are generally here to work hard and make money to bring home but are getting taxed relatively heavily and it is proving to be a disincentive to working here. One of the workers has recently asked me to write a letter stating that our company will employ their spouse here in order to get the PPSN. Obviously I dont want to go down that road. Anybody with first hand experience of dealing with the matter would be appreciated.
