Moving to the UK but working for an Irish company

Hi all,

I’m looking for some tax advice. I am a British citizen and have been living in Ireland for 15 years after moving over as a child. I will be moving to England for at least the next 3 years. I am currently employed by an Irish non-profit and I am looking into how feasible and easy it would be for me to continue working for them remotely in England. I will be resident there and will have no permanent house/address in Ireland.

My understanding is that legally working that way would be fine, but that I might run into some issues with taxing and double taxation as I will be being paid by an Irish company but will be resident in England.

If anyone has any knowledge/advice on this that would be great!

From the experience of my company, I believe there are 29 working days that you can work in a country while being employed and paying tax in another one... After that there are tax implications.

Happy to be corrected though

I think you're right, any idea how easy/difficult sorting out the tax implications are? I know the UK and Ireland have a double taxation treaty which I think makes life easier and makes it possible, I'm just wondering how much effort it will be for me, and to a lesser extent the company I currently work for!

This is the limit of my experience, my companies Payroll team would take over at this stage... Hope you get it resolved.

You need to ask a UK-based advisor: your company will need to comply with the law in the UK, and may need to have a registered presence there.

Another option is for you to be self-employed. In this case, it's you who need the UK based advice.

Is it a small or a large non-profit? Does it have a U.K. payroll currently? If not this is going to be a pain for them. Establish U.K. payroll with you as sole employee, operate U.K. PAYE/NIC and seek a PAYE exclusion order for you. Then after that consider what the corporate tax aspects might be. Truly unattractive for a small employer.
