    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Yeah that's fair enough - it's a 1hr 40 commute and I've 'priced in' the expense as such. Would it be advisable for me to contact HMRC directly to get some clarification on the situation or best work through an accountant/agent? I've one lined up to do my end of year UK return, but not finding...

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Agency is based in Ireland. Yeah I can understand why the accountant wants to go the straightforward route, but nevertheless, their advice should be fit for purpose.

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Thanks for the link and info. Icon are suggesting that there will be no problem with me operating under the director umbrella while WFH in the UK in combination with commuting to Dublin - the Irish Govt are allowing some flexibility due to Covid restrictions. They've also suggested that no...

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Thanks for the replies - it's always good to have a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm still a small bit weary that HMRC won't look kindly on the whole setup once I go to submit my self assessment later in the year, but no professional I spoken with shares the worry, so best taken them at face value.

    Cheers - From a quick scan of similar threads it seems to be recognised by others who have worked in Ireland!

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    So I'm due to start work next week under the following arrangement. - Set up as a Umbrella Director for a company based in Dublin - technically self-employed. - Will be WFH in Belfast until Covid is under control, thereafter commuting to Dublin. It remains to be seen how often/frequent it...

    Contracting - a cross border affair

    But would HMRC treat my income any differently if it were to be a Ltd company rather than an umbrella?

    Contracting - a cross border affair

    As I understand it, I’ll have to submit an end of year UK tax return declaring my Irish income regardless. Given that the Irish ‘Director Umbrella‘ option doesn’t have a direct UK equivalent, how would income from that source be seen/taxed as during my end of year UK tax return? Would HMRC...

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Thanks very much. Yeah it's difficult to say about time required in the office - I could guarantee <30 days until the end of the end of the Tax year, but very difficult to say for the entire duration of the year contract.

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    It's been proposed by another operation that I work under a UK Umbrella for my stint in NI, then changing to an Irish Umbrella when commuting. UK umbrella seems rubbish quite frankly - no upfront expenses and Employers NI charged!!

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Thanks very much. I'm in contact with Icon at the moment, but they seem to be pushing the Director Umbrella option exclusively - which doesn't tie in with advice I'm getting elsewhere!

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Presumably you're working as a Ltd company? I wonder how things should work if my working week will be split between Ireland and the UK....? Apologies for all these queries on a Forum btw - I'm asking professionals at the minute, but getting inconsistent advice!

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Good to know someone else here is dealing with the North and South!! Thanks for the help - Just one question. If I'm primarily resident in the North (as I likely will be for 250+ days over next year), would keeping everything in this contract in my southern address cause many issues?

    WFH (mostly) for a client in Ireland

    Don't have that luxury unfortunately :( offer is on the table for the next week or so and notice has verbally (although not officially) been given to my boss :eek:
