A question about : 2 Job Offers, 2 countries

Hi

I need some advice. I live in Northern Ireland, just on the border between the North and the republic.
Where i live, it is approx one hours train journey to Belfast(uk) and about the same to Dublin(republic of ireland). Theres not much in it time wise.
I am staying put and will not move location. And, i don't mind that commute to work.

Here is my question. I'll looking for the highest paying job i can get. (just like everybody else out there.)
There is a job in Belfast i am applying for Ј40K (per year). And also a job in Dublin at Ђ60k. I went to Xe.com and i see 60,000 euro translates to Ј48k.
So if offered both jobs the obvious one would be the Dublin job.
I done a bit of a google search on this, and it says i must pay income tax in the country where i make my income (in this case Republic of Ireland) but i also have to fill out some tax form for the Uk. Apparently they have some sort of agreement.
IF, i were to get and take the Dublin job, what realistically would i be taking home per year after both Tax men got their mitts into it?
Would i be better off financially with the Belfast job?

All help appreciated!

Thanks
Conor

Best answers:

  • I suggest that you might get more replies if you asked this on the Tax board, rather than the employment board. Would you like me to move it?
  • oh, yes please. Sorry about that.
  • No need for an apology, I was just doubting that anyone on here would have reason to know!
  • Try posting on the Northern Ireland board too, as there are plenty of people working one side of the broder living the other.
    Tax calculator for Ireland - https://ie.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php
    This suggests your take home pay would be €3,305 per month with tax paid being €1,201 (Ј960) and if you put the same figures into the UK calculator (Based on Ј4,000 a month) tax is Ј735 a month, which is less than you have already paid. so under the double taxation treaty you won't owe any tax in the UK (I think - not completely sure on the rules)
    As for National Insurance - will need to look up the rules
  • thanks for the replies.
