| 685.1 | Double taxation problem. | TRIBES::CREAN | You're never alone with a clone | Thu Nov 30 1989 03:45 | 6 | 
|  |     I believe there is a treaty or agreement or something which
    enables a person to avoid double taxation. I don't know the
    details, but the nearest consulate should be able to supply
    a leaflet.

|  |     I believe the way it works most times is that you pay the non-usa
    mortgages, taxes etc, and then claim them as deductions on your
    US taxes.

|  |     I'd be grateful if someone could supply details of income tax rates
    in the Republic. I have been led to believe the basic rate is someone
    in the region of 48 pence in the punt which sounds preposterous. 
    
    Also, what taxes does the individual pay if they, say, live in the South
    but work in the North. Some form of double tax? The reason being that I
    will probably moving over to Ireland next year to a border region
    (Buncrana/Derry) and need to find out whether the South's an option 
    without getting clobbered for tax. 
    
    Thanks,
    
    Barry.

    Barry,
    
    I'll try and dig out the tax book and send it on...we are hammered with
    tax ok though basic rate of 48p in punt is WAY off..no way..thats one
    of the top limits...alot depends on whether your single/kids/house etc
    etc..like most places I suppose.....
    
    Living in south but working in the North..I know alot of folk who do it
    so will ask them...will see them next week or so...
    
    Great area though!..(Buncrana/Derry)...one of the best around...
    
    rgs,
    
    Mick

    Actually 48p is probably not "Way off". It does depend on your taxable
    income and Ireland used to have reasonably good allowances for
    mortgages, kids etc. But a single person, earning the mid to high end
    Hi-Tech salaries would pay a HUGE tax bill, pluss PRSI (social
    security) + unemplyment etc etc etc.
    
    Its been 9 yrs since I worked there, but I would guess that a person
    earning 25-30k punts would pay 40% to the government.
    
    Then there is VAT on cars, gas .......
    
    I would say that the total TAX government "cut" from a pay-packet is
    probably one of the highest in the world.
    
    I would be interested in seeing a few scenarios.
    
    As to live in South and work in North, not sure current status, but it
    used to be that you paid taxes where you work (they are normally
    decucted Pay As you Earn (PAYE), so itsthe employer that has the
    responsibility to do it.  The catch then was if your house was in
    another country, could you get the tax deductions for mortgages, kids
    etc.
    
    I don't have an up-to-date answer on that.

|  |     My cousin in Dublin, who's a 24yo single mother, no mortgage, said she
    earns just under 11K pa and pays more than 40% in income tax alone. I
    was so shocked I didn't ask for details.

|  |     Anyone know what type of charge NAV is? It is levied on properties in 
    Northern Ireland but that's as much as I know.
