maybe it might be better to pay swiss tax since it is lower than ireland. i know my friend work over there and he pays 7.8% compared to 20% here.
What kind of IT jobs is it? java, servers helpdesk?
I had a quick chat to an accountant here and he said that even though I'd be gone for a year I would still be resident here
Thats just not true.
You can elect for split year residency.
swiss tax and related insurances are alot higher than Ireland and also depends on where the company is based, Swiss is based on Cantons and the tax rates differ between cantons, also depnds on the employer and there attitude to overseas contractors if you are obliged to register with the swiss authorities you'd want to be getting a very good rate !
You can elect for split year residency. Albeit you are still ordinary resident, but thats irrelevant here.
Please seek advice from someone that knows what they are talking about. You need to speak to someone about mobile workers taking up a foreign employment.

The OP plans to return and thus split year relief wont apply - as they will be resident next year.
Here this might help OP.

The role is based in Basel. Does registering with the Swiss authorities cost a lot, or is it hassle?
Anyway the above may or may not be relevant. I've been looking at contracts abroad and I'm in with a shout of getting one for 12 months in Switzerland. If I decide to take it what are the tax implications here - I know that if a person works abroad for more than a certain number of days in the year this has an effect on a person's tax, but I have no idea what that is

Ok the person I spoke to was an accountant and he went off and looked up the info before he spoke to me. Can you recommend someone to talk to?
Try Alan Moore [broken link removed] or any tax consultant with the necessary experience in this area. No affiliation whatsoever with Alan.
Firstly things go very slow in Switzerland when it comes to employment, so an August start date is more likely than a July one.
