I have a related question on the idea of the digital nomad, the person sitting in a pleasant environment in Spain but working in the Irish market. It is fine within the EU in terms of tax treatment and arrangements. However, it becomes a problem outside the jurisdiction. Unfortunately, Northern Ireland is an example. The UK is too. Is there a simplified process to be managed by employers or that the State can offer for the individuals in question? Does that fall to the Department or to somebody else?
