Taxation of Payment to Guest Lecturer and Teaching Support Staff in NUI Galway

A guest lecturer is an individual who is invited to give a lecture/talk on an exceptional basis in the University. Lecture fees paid to guest lecturers are taxed through the PAYE system (i.e. paid net of statutory deductions for income tax, USC and PRSI).

Teaching Support Staff (including other categories of academics/teachers) are engaged to deliver lectures, workshops, etc. and are remunerated in line with University authorised hourly rates. Individuals in this category may lecture on one, two, or more occasions in a year.

Relevant individuals overwhelmingly fall into the latter category and guest lecturers as described above are the “exception, rather than the norm.”

The University does not reimburse travel and subsistence costs for either category of lecturer (or, indeed, any staff member) as Revenue’s view is that the normal place of work for such individuals, in their capacity as lecturers/teachers, is the location where they carry out the duties of the engagement (i.e., the University in this case).
