    Hi, I'm currently working in Ireland with an agency, I'm Irish and employed paye and all above board. The agency in question now has work in Denmark which is something I'd be interested in but they give a contract from Switzerland! Pay is in Swiss francs also. I would be an Irish guy working in Denmark and paying no tax there or in Ireland....I would be paying tax in Switzerland but never setting foot there? I believe the agency head office is in Basel but I didn't think you could work in Denmark without paying tax there. Anyone have any advice or have any info they could share?

    You will need to check Danish tax law.

    But as an example - if you were working for a foreign company but your duties are excised in Ireland, the company would be obliged to register and pay PAYE in Ireland.

    There are many factors to consider when an employee works abroad for a company, including double tax arrangements but if the work is wholly conducted in Ireland permanently, it's more straightforward.

    If it's a temporary assignment then there's a lot more to consider and it's not an appropriate question for a public forum.

    You would pay tax in Denmark as well as I'd guess be deducted in Switzerland as well in some form (don't know the Swiss laws for contracting outside Switzerland) but I'd definitely ask for the full split on what taxes they will deduct where etc.
