Course Details

In this session Tim Kelsey will look at the potential tax liability for those visiting the UK on business and ongoing UK liabilities for Brits sent on assignments abroad. Just how can a business effectively operate UK PAYE on a US national sent to work in the UK, who remains paid in US dollars on the American payroll? We will look at each of the special PAYE variation schemes available to process expatriate employee’s tax and NIC liabilities and explain exactly how these work. The schemes offer clients significant easements from standard processing deadlines, allow for the widespread use of estimates of income and provide generous post year deadlines for making final correct submissions. Any business who receives visitors from abroad, even those coming just for a few days, should be using at least one of these schemes.

 

The following areas will be covered during this session:

 

  • Short Term Business Visitor Agreements with HMRC EPAPP4
  • Modified PAYE schemes EPAPP6 and Annual PAYE schemes EPAPP8
  • Direct Payment PAYE schemes
  • Net of foreign tax credit relief EPAPP5
  • Modified NICs for foreign assignees to the UK EPAPP7a and Modified NIC’s for UK employees on assignment overseas EPAPP7b

 

By attending this session, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the variant options available to ensure compliant processing of expatriate and inpatriate tax and NIC liabilities. You will also be able to perform the variant calculations and understand the reporting requirements required by each of the schemes.

This session will be of most interest to: 

  • Tax advisers with expatriate/inpatriate employee clients
  • Payroll managers and teams
