Complex tax situation - any advice is appreciated!

    Hey guys,

    I've a bit of a complex tax situation and would appreciate any advice on the matter as I'm totally confused about my tax obligations and what I should or should not be paying.

    I am a UK citizen who was living in Canada and working for a Canadian company up until May of this this year. As my work visa was expiring, I transferred over to the international branch of the company and moved to Ireland. I was on a period of leave due to other issues over the summer so was in the UK for a few months before moving to Ireland in August. The tl;dr of this is I have lived and worked in both Canada and Ireland in 2018 but in both cases for less than 183 days. I am not a permanent resident of either country.

    When I started work in Ireland in August I noticed I was emergency taxed on my first two paycheques despite having my PPS number sorted and ready to go (I'm still not sure why this happened). I was then moved onto a W1 basis when it comes to tax. I spoke with Revenue in an effort to reclaim that emergency tax but when I told them I did not know how long I'll be in Ireland for - I hope to return to Canada sometime in the new year - they locked me out of my online revenue account (or just the PAYE section) and told me I'd have to wait until the end of 2018 and then ask for the emergency tax back once I can declare exactly how much I've earned across both countries for the year.

    Does anyone have any advice on what to do when it comes to declaring taxes, and what my obligations are? I have lived in both countries for less than 183 days in 2018 and am a citizen of neither. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Basically once 2018 finishes you can file a return online. As you are non resident you will be able to claim a portion of annual tax credits and cut off points based on irish income as a % of your world wide income so you will have to declare your Canadian income.
