Valuable reliefs from UK tax and social security charges may be available where individuals come to work in the UK on a short-term basis. There are some essential conditions which companies must meet in order to qualify for such reliefs. Both employer and employee need to consider various matters: payroll, registration, notification and compliance requirements etc together with ascertaining the social security position (e.g. whether the employee is moving to the UK social security system or remaining in their home country). For more information and advice on these matters please contact us.
