Thousands of southern workers to give up NI jobs in tax pinch

End of temporary tax relief rules impeding 'working from home' option for southern Irish workers with cross-border jobs

Aidan O’Kane, co-chair of the Cross Border Workers Coalition (CBWC) and a director of tech firm Allstate Northern Ireland.

Irish tax relief rules need to be urgently revised to ensure cross-border workers can avail of the same remote working flexibility as their single jurisdiction co-workers, says the Cross Border Workers Coalition.

The CBWC says that hundreds, if not thousands, of southern-domiciled workers are currently in two minds about continuing to work in the North. Northern employers talking to the CBWC are reporting a steady stream of southern workers leaving to take up roles in the Republic.
