Working in South, living in North - what taxes?

motorguy

Out of curiosity, what taxes apply if you have a job in the south but live in the north?

Cheers

You have to submit a form to both HRMC and revenue commissioners. Your domicile is based on the number of days in each state.

Whatever they charge in the south? That's where you're working.

It's not ways quite that simple. There are certain differences for what the eu recognises as a frontier worker. If you pay southern paye tax but only spend a certain number of days there you can be entitled to a rebate if your domicile is in a state with lower tax. The high tax bracket is reached a lot quicker in the south, so any advantage depends on the income.

It would be commuting across the boarder each day,so living in the north.

As an employee or sub contractor? If it's employee your domicile is the south even if you don't stay the night (rules changed a couple of years ago to stop a few well known tycoons from commuting from tax havens), for a contractor it's dead easy to only pay uk tax. You'll have to make two tax returns. Please fill in every form whatever you do. I got slaughtered on penalties a few years back when my useless accountant told me to ignore uk forms. Hope you're reading this, mick.

Permanent full time job as an employee.

don't know how reliable it is, but there appears to be a whole site devoted to this kind of thing

Hi there


Apologies for jumping on your thread


Did you get any further with this?
I am currently considering a post based in ROI.


My head is absolutely fried with the ins and outs of this and I'm having difficulty bottoming it out.


Now seems a good time to negotiate a euro salary as realistically I can not see it getting much weaker, that said if we knew that we certainty we would all be very rich people.


What tax (and other deductions) needs to be paid / also very interested in national insurance contributions for state pension etc, what needs to be done to ensure that this is kept up to date? Also is there any impact to NHS entitlement etc?






Thanks!

Thanks!

I'd like to quote john Maynard Keynes here. "The market may remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
