Expatriate PAYE Arrangements

Expatriate PAYE Arrangements

Managing expatriate tax compliance in the UK can be complex due to varying rules for income earned abroad, foreign tax credits, and social security contributions. At LIMES international, we provide tailored Expatriate PAYE (Pay As You Earn) arrangements to ensure that international employees working in the UK are fully compliant with UK tax laws, while optimising their tax position.

Whether your employee is on a temporary assignment or a permanent transfer, we ensure that PAYE is correctly applied to their UK earnings, while addressing any cross-border tax implications. We work with both employers and employees to streamline the process, minimising administrative burden and ensuring that all tax obligations are met.

Our key services include:

✔ Expatriate Tax Status Determination – We assess whether your employees qualify for tax exemptions, including reliefs for foreign earnings, or if they need to pay tax on worldwide income.
✔ PAYE Setup and Compliance – We manage the setup of PAYE for expatriates, ensuring that all UK income is taxed appropriately and in accordance with HMRC guidelines.
✔ Tax Equalisation and Protection – We help design and implement tax equalisation policies, ensuring your employees are not disadvantaged by different tax systems between their home country and the UK.
✔ Double Taxation Relief – Our experts analyse the applicable double taxation agreements (DTAs) to ensure your expatriates do not pay tax twice on the same income.
✔ National Insurance Contributions (NIC) – We manage National Insurance contributions for expatriates, ensuring compliance with UK rules and maximising benefits like the State Pension.
✔ Ongoing Tax Reporting and Filings – We ensure timely and accurate tax filings for expatriates, including P85 forms, P11D, and other reporting obligations.
