Civil Partnership where one party is NOT working in Ireland: In order for the civil partner who is NOT working in Ireland to get a PPS number they must explain that they wish to get a PPS number in order to transfer tax credits to their spouse who is working. There is a special form to complete for this “Nominated Civil Partner’s Election Form”. This form should be brought to the PPSmeeting. Married & Registered civil partners ONLY: Registered civil partners ONLY are treated the same way for tax purposes. Please note that Revenue (Irish tax system) recognises only certain registered foreign marriages and civil partnerships for tax purposes. A list of all foreign marriages and civil partnerships recognised in Ireland is given by the Department of Justice and Equality and documents required for each country is HERE. Non married/Cohabiting couples : Revenue assess cohabiting couples as single individuals. The partner who is NOT working in Ireland will generally be required to have a job to be able to apply for a PPS. It is not necessary to have a PPS Number order to seek employment. If however, they are looking to do driving lessons to apply for a driving licence a PPS is required. In this case, on the PPS application form the reason should be stated as “Apply for driving licence”. The application form for a driving licence is HERE.
