Resources for Remote Professionals

Tools, guides, and local knowledge to support your flexible career in Ireland

Tools

Productivity & collaboration

Communication

Slack & Microsoft Teams

Industry-standard tools for async and real-time team communication. Most Irish remote employers use one or both.

Project Management

Notion, Asana & Trello

Organise tasks, document processes, and keep distributed teams aligned on priorities and deadlines.

Time Tracking

Clockify & Toggl

Essential for freelancers and contractors billing hourly. Integrates with invoicing tools for seamless workflows.

Finance

Tax & employment in Ireland

Understanding your obligations as a remote worker or freelancer in Ireland.

PAYE vs. self-employment

Employees on PAYE have tax deducted at source. Freelancers and contractors must register for self-assessment with Revenue, file annual returns, and manage PRSI contributions independently.

Home office expenses

Employed remote workers may claim remote working relief for heating, electricity, and broadband. Self-employed individuals can deduct a portion of home office costs as business expenses.

Working for foreign employers

If your employer is based outside Ireland, tax treatment depends on residency, double taxation agreements, and where the work is performed. Consult a tax advisor for complex situations.

Pension & benefits

Review employer pension contributions, health insurance options, and whether your contract includes equipment allowances or coworking stipends.

Workspaces

Coworking across Ireland

Dublin

Huckletree, Dogpatch Labs, and Talent Garden offer vibrant communities with event programmes and networking opportunities.

NDRC, PorterShed, and Galway Technology Centre support startups and remote professionals with flexible desk options.
