    Hi all,

    Looking for advice on my situation. I've accepted a new job offer working remotely for an Irish company based in Dublin. However I'm living in London and will be for the forseeable, which my new company are aware of. I didn't even think about tax until now - will I need to pay tax in both countries? I'm Irish with an Irish passport, if that affects anything.

    This Revenue document describes how to determine your Irish residency for tax purposes. Generally, though, if you aren't actually residing in Ireland and aren't working in Ireland, you wouldn't be considered resident here and you would not usually pay Irish tax on employment income so long as none of your employment work is actually performed while you are physically present in Ireland. Your employer being headquartered here doesn't change that as long as you are working remotely and performing all of your work while you are physically present in the UK (or anywhere else that isn't Ireland).

    Your being an Irish national might make Ireland your domicile (though this depends on other factors as well), and you might still be ordinarily resident in Ireland if you only relocated to the UK recently (less than a few years ago), but those conditions don't usually make you liable for any Irish taxes on income from employment performed outside Ireland. You might owe Irish tax on other types of income (e.g. rental income, investment dividends, capital gains/acquisitions, etc.) under some circumstances, however. If you do have other sources of income, you'd want to consult with an accountant familiar with tax matters for emigrants.

    If its an Irish employment contract the default is that your salary is taxed in Ireland via PAYE. The company should be able to apply for PAYE exclusion order, once you don't work 30 days or more in Ireland in any year. Your employer will need to register for UK PAYE (if not already) and deduct UK payroll taxes from your salary.

    You should talk to your employer just to ensure everything is setup properly - but the onus on getting proper advice and setting it up properly is on them.
