UK taxation of EU workers

[venator]

I want to take on a worker who lives in Dublin and is a taxpayer in Eire.

Do I have to operate PAYE, and is there any other paperwork I need to deal with?

I'd be grateful for any help.

If your company is in the UK and he is working in the UK, the position is very clear - he needs to apply for a UK NI number and you are required to operate PAYE. It is made clear here.

There is a double taxation treaty with Eire so he won't pay tax in both countries - he pays it here.
Given the state of Eire and its recently increased direct tax regime, he's probably financially better off being taxed here.

I can only say that BM is correct (again) and gives good advice.

Thanks, mate, that's clear. The HMCE link is for NI only, and doesn't refer to PAYE, but you're obviously right!
