Hi, don't know of any simple comparison to point you toward. However here's some quick feedback which I hope will be of some help. I've been contracting for 3 and half years. -number of days worked: (I've averaged 230) - taxes to be paid: (PAYE, USC and PRSI 4%) - vat: you charge VAT(1.23%) and...

I've lived in several countries, European and further afield. Believe me I don't want to come across as rubbising my country. I love this country hence I've decided to settle and raise my family here. Every country has many faults and they're ain't not such thing as a perfect one! I also think...
