Important piece in today's @IrishTimes addressing the economic & structural issues stifling progress in the North West.
Crucial that we have a seamless border where thousands of border employees are able to work remotely without additional tax challenges.

Important point raised by @ibec_irl on the Irish Govt's decision to reimpose work-from-home restrictions.
The pandemic is not over, and yet, from January, cross-border workers will be effectively forced into the office or face a 'double tax' on their income. @Paschald must act.
This new work from home advice means the temporary waiver on trans-border workers relief for workers in the border regions, will need to be extended for 2022. Otherwise, they won't be able to WFH without facing potential double income tax @BorderWorkers.

If implemented, NPHET's advice means that from January, cross-border workers who work remotely would face a 'double tax' on their income.
By following health advice, they will be penalised.
@Paschald must extend the temporary Covid-19 waiver on Trans Border Workers Relief now.
The National Public Health Emergency Team is to strongly advise the Government that people work from home, where possible, and that employers be supportive of the move. | More: bit.ly/3EYJGrg

❌Tomorrow is Budget Day, and Finance Minister @Paschald has a decision to make.
🌍Will the Minister leave outdated cross-border tax rules unchanged, harming border communities?
⬇️Or will he grant ROI-based cross-border workers much-needed flexibility to work remotely?

🌐The world of work is changing. Businesses across the island are increasingly keen to implement new, modern working practises.
🚨From January 2022, NI businesses may be unable to offer ROI cross-border workers remote work.
⬇️Urgent legislative change needed from @Paschald.

Cross border workers based in ROI but working in NI, pre-pandemic, are faced with a 'double tax' on their income if deemed they work-from-home.
We hope @conormurphysf, @LizK1988 and @cathalboylansf will assist us in removing this barrier facing employees in the border region.

Where to pay tax is a common question. Usually paid via employer’s PAYE system & declared at home (annually). Current restrictions puts a spotlight on tax for cross-border workers working from home. Work/life balance? Reducing carbon footprint? Time for updated policies please
Today, a @BBCNewsNI article detailing the need for a change in home-working tax laws facing cross-border workers has been published.
It features an interview with Coalition Co-Chair, Paul Quinn, who explains the need for a "pragmatic solution" to this.

Thank you to @antsoares67 and the @CCBSCrossBorder for their continued support of our campaign.
As Anthony says, we need permanent solutions, not temporary waivers, to solve this issue for cross-border workers across ROI.
This is an issue that needs resolution as the trend for remote working looks set to stay:
