Transborder: PRSI and National Insurance

    Hi,

    Bit of a head scratcher thrown up by ROS.

    I am tax resident in the south but work on the northern side of the border.

    I pay National Insurance to the UK authorities.

    In 2015 I won't qualify for transborder relief, although I will for 2016 onwards.

    Feed both scenarios into ROS, and in both cases it says I have a PRSI liability.

    Is that right? Transborder relief doesn't apply to PRSI?

    Afterall, I pay NI contributions.

    If I must really pay PRSI, is there a way to avoid paying or get a refund of UK National Insurance in these circumstances?

    Thanks

    You should not pay social insurance in more than one EU country at any one time. As you are working in the UK you fall under the UK social insurance rules.

    When submitting your Irish tax return there is a box to tick to claim an exemption from PRSI. It also asks to state reason which would be you are paying social insurance in the UK.

    Did you pay USC in the UK?

    No, but it is strange because if I don't tick it, it doesn't generate a charge for USC anyway (even in the case where I don't claim transborder relief). I thought I would be liable for that. It doesn't seem consistent.

    What are you entering the UK income as?
