Working In Ireland + Independent Contractor Overseas

Hi guys,

I'm doing a 40 hr week in Ireland but in my spare time for about 10 hrs a week, I work as an independent contractor for a company in Australia (sales and marketing for them in Ireland/UK)

I've called the tax office to say that I'll be getting paid soon and want to make sure I declare it all properly.

I was told I need to register for PAYE tax on a TR1 form and submit a Form 11 by October to state my earnings from abroad.

Has anyone done this before, and/or have any other information or tips to provide? I want to make sure I don't screw it up as I don't like the idea of tax evasion!

Also, I have a revenue.ie online account now - can I just do all of this online?

Cheers guys

Your income from overseas is income from self-employment. You were probably told to register for income tax on the form TR1.
You therefore need to register and in due course complete a tax return to include your self-employed accounts information and pay tax on your self-employed income.
If you are not sure what you are doing you should get professional advice.

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to confirm it thanks

Have spoken to the tax office and that was exactly what they told me too.

I'll contact an accountant aswell just to make sure I'm doing everything correctly
