My partner is likely going to be offered a contract in the UK for roughly a six-month period with an option to extend this (if he impresses). I'm just wondering whether he would still be treated as an Irish resident for the whole tax year or would he be liable to pay tax solely in the UK for those six months?
Is there any way of choosing which country you pay tax in, and if so which option is better?
I'm presuming that there's no similar tax free benefit to working in the UK on a short-term contract like there is for say the Middle East? Or any way of somehow reclaiming tax paid? That would be sweet...
Also, following the six-month contract there is a strong possibility he'll be moving to Australia to work so realistically he'll be working overseas for at least 7 months of the tax year 2010.
Any info appreciated.
