EIM43015 - Residence or employment in the United Kingdom: Irish Republic employments

Before 6 April 2008, general earnings from an Irish Republic employment received by an individual who was resident in the United Kingdom were not 鈥chargeable overseas earnings鈥 because an employer who was resident in the Irish Republic was not a 鈥foreign employer鈥 for these purposes.

From 6 April 2008, the rules changed to include an Irish Republic employment as a foreign employer. Consequently, earnings from this employment can be chargeable overseas earnings.

The ordinary rules relating to the deduction from seafarers鈥 earnings apply.
