Our Global Employer Solutions team have developed a comprehensive new employee on-boarding brochure which contains a step by step guide for individuals taking up employment in the Republic of Ireland. The brochure provides useful information regarding PPS number (akin to a Tax Identification Number) applications which are extremely important for both Irish tax and social security purposes. There is also a complete visual guide on registration for Revenue’s MyAccount system which will allow employees to register employments and allocate credits. This is a very useful tool for employees coming to Ireland to take up employment, whether on a temporary assignment or relocating permanently.
