    If you haven't authorised the payment to be deducted from your wages they can't take it. I know as many self employed people who struggle to make a wage. An ''audit'' will lead to an over all negotiation of their debt to revenue.

    Yes they can. You don't have to authorise tax deductions from your wages and they put it into legislation that they can.

    So self employed will risk being audited to be examined by the revenue to be discovered to be not paying their taxes. Revenue don't let you walk away from your tax debts. Everybody I know who is self employed is earning money.

    You can't hide from this

    This is not correct.

    Taxation is exempt from the "no deduction without authorisation" requirement of the Payment of Wages Act.

    I'm no expert. Only hearing about this from second hand sources. Mates have had to sign forms in their jobs like.



    In other words out of the two earners in each household one of them had to sign up. How do the employers know whos paying what to whom?

    Probably some companies going overboard trying to cover their asses so employees don't kick up a stink when it happens.

    I edited the original response while you were replying it seems.

    Are Revenue now charged with scamming people out of money to give to some 'aul bank now then?

    Also, why is it called a property tax if it's going to a bail-out fund? Shure, people in the UK get done for this kind of thing every day. They're called rogue traders.

    It's probably a confirmation form - the taxpayer either confirms that "Yep, it's coming out of my salary" or "Nope, it's being paid another way" (e.g. by their spouse). This would be Revenue trying to help the person, avoid charging them twice. Hard to say without actually seeing the form.
    Also, why is it called a property tax if it's going to a bail-out fund?
    It is? Can you back this up with some links?

    There was something in the news a few years back about our government bailing out some banks and their bondholders, so hence we need to raise cash in any way possible.

    These billions that "we" have to repay have to come from somewhere

    you forgot to mention that noonan gave a toe in the arse to the credit unions as rehards anglo.

    What angers me more is that the political class are now at a stage that they feel comfortable enough to persistently lie and deceive in the full knowledge that nothing will come of it.

    We sit here and take it. And they know it.

    Iv said it a 100 times before.... they only way things will will change in this country is when people get off their asses.

    The government will listen when they are dragged kicking and screaming from the dail, burnt out of their homes etc.

    You might want to look up what that means.

    Telling somebody they can't avoid it is not being sour it the reality.

    If people have some strategy to avoid it I'd love to hear it. So far it has come down to people saying they won't pay it which they seem to think is a magic way of stopping it being paid. I can't see a way to avoid it.

    The fact is those who make it more difficult to collect just make it more expensive for everybody else.

    Plan A

    I work for a company based in the UK.
    I get my salary paid via irish revenue and into an irish account.


    A phone call is all it would take to get my salary paid via inland revenue and paid into my northern bank account.


    Hardly a sophisticated scam tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,798 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Everyone pretty much agreeing that this is a disgrace, how many of ye will actually join the next activist attempt to oppose it instead of pointing and laughing at "ye bunch of hippies", I wonder? :mad:

    Not sophisticated, but more severe consequences. You're talking about actual tax evasion rather than protesting or avoiding tax.

    Tax evasion how?

    I'm from the north and I work 50/50 in both jurisdictions.

    I can choose to pay my income tax wherever I like.

    Just about to post the same. Not a single valid method to avoid paying has been posted. It is just bluster that can be shown from those who said they wouldn't pay and then did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 649 ✭✭✭crusher000


    Typing on Boards will really show them how angry we all are. Because all wishes are granted on boards. Now back to where ever and lie in our ditches until the next out rage post against the Government which will happen in 10 9 8 ..............

    You pay your tax where you are tax resident. Where you work is irrelevant.

    If you are tax resident in the south and you deliberately move your income beyond the read of revenue, then that is tax evasion and can land you spells in prison as well as your tax bills.

    No you can't your primary resident determines where you pay tax. Not like lots of people can do this anyway. You can't have two primary residents and they will just deduct the money when you go to sell in the Republic. You aren't avoiding it

    I work 50/50 between the north and the South.

    week about in each jurisdiction.

    I can claim primary residency in the North.

    I have a northern address. Northern driving license. Northern bank acc. National insurance number etc.

    And I work for a UK company from their northern based branch.

    Get it when I sell up?

    Let them do that. If it makes you feel you've won an 'argument' well they can tear away.

    I'm currently not selling though. No immediate plans to either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,186 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Do people just pretend to be outraged at things that were always going to happen round here or what?

    It gets a bit tiresome after a while.

    In other news: 'Continental Drift Continues Unopposed! Holiday goers outraged at ever increasing travel times while politicians enjoy free trips on the government jet.'

    Do you own a home in both places?

    If you can get paid via the UK tax system why are you not already? It is less tax, seems very strange you haven't done this. When I say strange I mean highly unlikely that you would wait till now to do this.

    You can't sell your home in the Republic with outstanding household charges. A person can't inherit it without paying them either.

    They can of course just go down the traditional route and issue a summons. You going to ignore that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,281 ✭✭✭donegal_road


    anyway... has anyone heard is there any truth to this latest revelation yet? Apparently Leo Varadkar was on the radio earlier delcaring that there was no truth to it. Where did the Daily Mail get the story from I wonder?

    *Which program on Today fm was Michael Noonan on when he said this? It would be on a podcast by now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,283 ✭✭✭✭Geuze


    It was never claimed that we would get more local services from the LPT.

    We pay the LA direct, they get less funding from central Govt.

    The lower Govt spending means a lower fiscal deficit. Less borrowing.

    So your LPT is a new tax to reduce the deficit, which also links local services to this new local tax.

    It was also never the case that if county x collects 100 in LPT, then county x gets to spend 100. That's not how most property taxes work.
