Border Hopping - Tax Help

If you live in the south and are tax domiciled there you owe taxes there.
If you live in the north and are tax domiciled there you owe taxes there.

Simple....

Not simple at all with double taxation treaties between the UK and Ireland.  You'll prob have to fill in tax returns in the south but offset any arising liability with the UK PAYE paid. There's specific guidance on the Revenue.ie site.

Sorry I meant what I originally was saying was simple. The lads got confused by it.
Yes there are double taxation treaties to consider but I think the initial question arose because the poster was claiming to still live in the North when in fact living (and possibly tax domiciled) in the south.

So if you live in the south and work in the north, you still need to pay income tax in the south?

How do I know if I am resident in Ireland for a tax year?
Your residence status for tax purposes is determined by the number of days that you are present in Ireland in a tax year. You will be resident in Ireland for a tax year in either of the following circumstances:

If you spend 183 days or more in Ireland during a tax year or,
If you spend 280 days or more in Ireland over a period of two consecutive tax years, you will be regarded as resident for the second tax year. For example, if you spend 140 days here in Year 1 and 150 days here in Year 2, you will be resident in Ireland for Year 2.
What income will I be chargeable to tax on in Ireland?

You will be taxed on your worldwide income, for a tax year, that you are resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in Ireland for tax purposes.
