Move back to Republic of Ireland but keep job in UK...is this possible??

[Mydogisanaughtyboy]

Used to live in ROI in the West and am seriously considering moving back there from the UK. I work remotely but for a UK company so not sure if I could continue to do this. I also do contract work remotely in UK as well through umbrella companies. I miss the slower pace of life and cheaper property costs amongst other things so would like to go back. Anyone able to give me advice/experiences?

Omg that Rostrevor place is stunning! Less than a 3 bed terrace here in London.

Your employer would have to register with Revenue in Ireland and have you registered PAYE . If an employer has workers carrying out duties in Ireland >183 days must be registered and paying Irish tax for that employee
Until they have that set up you could declare your income to revenue in Ireland as foreign income but you will need pay additional taxes on top of what paid HMRC

Believe OP has settled on Northern Ireland rather than the Republic of Ireland since its part of the UK.

DownNative - I'm going to look at NI first as the employment and tax implications of ROI are going to be a pain. Plus I have lots of family in the North 😊
Realistically I can't do anything until at least 2024 which gives me a good year plus of planning and saving and lots of trips over.

Great selection of properties. I moved to Ireland from London in 2016. Best decision ever!

What's wrong with calling the ROI the ROI?

There's a big chunk of the geographical island that's a part of our country, the ROI is a separate foreign country so it makes sense to refer it as the Republic of Ireland

These things run deep @Petersonuk2 and you can call the place in question, and the wee place next to it (delib.), what you want and someone might get offended. Some things run deep. I have two very old Irish great uncles who seem to have gone through life teasing each other. Co Fermanagh one calls where Co Meath one lives The Repoblic, with a stress on the middle vowel that I can't really mimic. Co Meath uncle calls where the other lives The Statelet.

My thought if I was OP would be to seriously consider Fermanagh, but I've never had a visit to anywhere in the island that I've regretted.

If I wasn't in London though I'd probably choose Aragon where I have aged relatives who carry on hard to comprehend echoes of family feuds from being on competing losing factions in the Civil War. Some things run deep. My other relatives are in Ukraine.

So OP, consider Fermanagh. Plus sides as outlined by others and there's a new Waterstones opened in the Erne Centre. On the downside, there's rain and little for the Waitrose/Ocado set.

Keep an eye on the tax laws, I see a lot of UK jobs advertised that say you must be resident in the UK to do this iob even though it is remote, because of tax reasons.
