Non resident earning in Ireland.

[ahlarry]

I have been offered the opportunity to relocate to the US with my family for a year with work. I will still be employed by the Irish wing of my company but stationed in the US. Obviously I will need to get a tax agent in the US to deal with my tax affairs. What about Ireland? Do I wtill pay PRSI? USC?

I am perhaps also about to be in the same position. I have scan read some of the revenue documents but it seems more about non resident and income earned in Ireland.
I can;t believe that we are the first people to have done this so if anyone has any experience or knowledge it would be appreciated. Will a revenue ruling will be necessary for the Irish company employing someone overseas?
Also as ahlarry says what is the status of PRSI USC state pension contributions.

Normally you would expect that employees transferring like you are given equalisation clauses in their contracts i.e. the employee will be no better or worse off tax-wise as a result of moving. Usually also the employer pays for host-country advice and first/second foreign country tax returns if required.

Anyone have similar experience moving and being resident to euro zone country and being paid from Ireland?

Your company should be answering these questions for you. Looks to me like you are not really non resident if you are going for a year. Surely there are others in your company who have done the same before you.

Ideally you need to ensure you are not at a loss, they should be paying your accommodation, utilities, car, food, family travel, including if you negotiate it right a 'flight home for a holiday in the summer' option. In addition I would expect the employer to pay for any tax returns in either jurisdiction that are above your normal filing.

They will answer them obviously but I posted on here to see if anyone had an idea prior to me getting the low down from work.

Woodie : We definitely aren't. It seems to be pretty standard fair for companies.

I agree ahlarry. I am assuming that the company will have to comply in the correct way, but in our company it is a first case, so right now no one has the precise knowledge of what is involved. Like you I wanted to get some off base knowledge of anyone's prior experience.
So I put the call out again, anyone have real advice on what might be involved and what the costs the individual may incur? Its taken as a given that the company will probably pick up the tab.
