UK contractor living in Ireland - tax implications

overmarsirl · 2016-11-25 13:06:12

Hi, I plan on moving back to Ireland in early 2017. I've lived in London for the past 7 years and currently work as a contractor with my own limited company. My plan is to continue contracting in London, working 3 days a week from the London office and 1 day a week from home in Ireland. I've looked up the tax implications…

Hi,
I plan on moving back to Ireland in early 2017. I've lived in London for the past 7 years and currently work as a contractor with my own limited company. My plan is to continue contracting in London, working 3 days a week from the London office and 1 day a week from home in Ireland.
I've looked up the tax implications of this and it seems that as I would be tax resident in both countries, I would need to file a self assessment return in both. I should only be liable to pay UK tax though as I will qualify for trans-border relief in Ireland.
My question relates to the source of income for trans-border relief. In the UK my income is made up of salary (1/5th) and dividends (4/5ths) which keep me just below the upper tax band. Does it matter that a large part of my UK income is in the form of dividends for trans-border relief or am I entitled to the relief on the full amount regardless of the source of income (salary/dividends)?
Thanks
