Hi folks, hope you can help clarify my situation!
Starting with UK company as their Irish sales rep next month. Will be working from home office, have agreed a base salary, and they are providing a company car. As I've always been a PAYE employee of Irish companies I never gave tax a second thought, just presumed it would be looked after by my new employer. They've just informed me that they will be paying me a gross salary and I have to look after my own tax affairs, and I don't know where to start.
It's a permanent salaried position, so it's not a contract-type employment. I'm not self-employed, and I'm not a director/consultant. The long term plan is to open an Irish office but this could be 2/3/4 years off.
What are the pros/cons to this arrangement? Can I claim expenses such as electricity/broadband/phone for home office? Do I pay less PRSI? And does this then raise issues if job doesn't work out re dole?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
