Hi,
A friend who runs a small professional services firm had 2 employees move to their home countries, Spain & Italy, at the start of lock down March 2020. They have not returned since and have continued to work for the company with no changes being made to the way their salaries were paid and taxed while in Ireland. The Spanish employee has been contacted by the revenue equivalent in Spain saying that the employee owes money for the wages earned since they returned.
My friend is happy with the current set up and is happy to have the employees work from wherever they choose provided it doesn't cause too many issues or give rise to significant tax bills for them or employee. Does any one have any idea of the employer commitments in terms of reporting to all of the relevant authorities?
Many Thanks
