Live in North work in South

[RedHand88]

Just on the child allowance thing...

I have incomes North and south of the border.
My wife only works in the north.
We are resident in the North.

Currently receiving child allowance for the North, would we be entitled to get the southern child benefit if I am earning there? Or at least the difference?

I did- we got the difference, but I only had income in ROI and resident in NI(I had no earnings in NI nut wife did)-not sure if that makes a differnence

I'll try it and see thanks. Child is over 1 now which might complicate things but worth a go.

In my industry i'd say 30% higher in RoI (after you convert both to the same currency).

£1 is worth EUR 1.15 but it will probably be worth less going forward. Is that the only difference between North and South ?

Would it need to be 30% higher due to cost of housing/living/tax?

[Milltown Row2]

Average house price in the North £165,000 in the South its 300,000 euro

Groceries each week is 125 euro in the South and in the North its £77

So you would defo need to be paid that bit more to survive in the South

Possibly, but if your expenses go up 30% and your pay goes up 30% you still have 30% more disposable income which is all that matters really.

Better for me working in south, my wages went up 40% on what I was getting in same industry in Derry.

House prices Donegal avg 200 euros. Derry £147k. I can buy my groceries wherever is cheapest. ROI far better set up .

If you're paying more for items in the south to the north then you would need to be paid more to live there, you'll need that 30% extra for hospital bills  otherwise its the same! Unless you live on the border and pick and choose where tp get fuel groceries clothes drink!!
