The Republic provides tax relief for those who live in the State but work abroad – there is no equivalent relief under the UK tax systemA bilateral deal with the UK on the taxation of cross-Border workers is being sought by Minister for Finance Simon Harris. The Republic provides tax relief for individuals who live in the State but work abroad. However, there is no equivalent relief available under the UK tax system. Hybrid working across borders can cause headaches such as potential tax liabilities for workers and employers, and have implications for exchequer revenues. The Labour Employer Economic Forum (LEEF) – the Government’s employers and workers policy exchange – is looking at the issue as part of the Shared Island programme of cross-Border issues.
