UK resident but job in Ireland but want to keep UK T&Cs etc
Discussion
No idea on this stuff but currently have a uk contract for a uk entity of a co based in ireland. its a permanent fulltime role. is it possible for me to work for the parent co in ireland yet on a uk contract so for tax and benefits purposes etc its as though im still working in the uk? in this scenario they would no longer have a uk based entity
i would expect to spend about 60-80% of my working time in ireland itself
i would want to get paid in the uk as i currently do and in sterling so wondering if there are payroll issues etc.
cheers

....i know colleagues from the us and germany do it so not sure why the uk would not work
Does the company have legal entities in those countries?Logistically, they could pay you through a UK based payroll company (we do that with payroll companies in other countries to pay employees there) I don't know how dodgy it would be not paying tax and NI in S Ireland.
I thought the double tax thing is so that you wouldn't have to pay tax in the UK on your S Ireland salary.

would be likely working there 4 days per week and full time perm contract so indefinitely...
Will you travel back to the UK every week?The key to where you pay tax is where you are Tax Resident. This is supposed to be a matter of fact, not a matter of choice - although Premiership Footballers seem to be able to wangle offshore residency even though they live and work in the UK.
For mere mortals, claiming you are tax resident in another country when you really aren't is not that easy.
From what you are saying, it looks that, from a tax residency point of you, you will be living and working in the Republic of Ireland.
This means that you will be subject to Irish Income Tax and Pay Related Social Insurance (the Irish equivalent of UK NI).
You should NOT be subject to UK tax and NI.
If you have savings or other income income generated in the UK (rents, interest etc) that MAY be subject to UK tax deducted at source and it COULD be also subject to Irish tax. This is where the Double Taxation Agreement kicks in - which should stop you paying UK and Irish tax on the same chunk of income.

thanks for all the input so far
can payroll be administered remotely our outsourced to a third party as they wont have a legal entity based in the uk
in the arrangement ive described would measures be need to taken to ensure that I don't get excluded from the uk welfare system ie nhs, state pension etc?

Sorry, due to lack of punctuation and capitals it isn't entirely clear what the question is you are asking in your first sentence.can payroll be administered remotely our outsourced to a third party as they wont have a legal entity based in the uk

My answer to the question I THINK you are asking is - Payrolls can be administered by anybody anywhere. If you are living and working in the Irish Republic, the tax and Social Welfare payment rules that will apply to the salary you receive from your Irish employment will be those of Ireland. It doesn't matter where the payroll administrator is based.
On the state pension front, within the EU there are rules which should allow an individual who is living and working in one EU country to retain their state pension rights in their original home country (something anti-EU protagonists should remember).
