Congratulations on the launch!

I've recently moved to UK and doing research on payroll/tax matters. I am working remotely for an overseas company making foreign income.

Do you support foreign company having employees in UK? The things I think needed support are

- Send Full Payment Submission to HMRC

- Apply pay as you earn scheme for employer (or is it for employee?)

- Filing Self Assessment tax returns to report foreign income

I am new to this matter so am not sure if the list makes sense at all.

Hi! If I understand correctly, you're working for a foreign company but living in the UK and hoping to go on UK payroll?

We support UK payroll, but there's a few other hoops your company may have to jump through in order to employ you in the UK.

Things to be aware of are whether your work in the UK will trigger "permanent establishment", which could have corporation tax implications for your company.

If your employer has a UK entity we can support them, but if not you might want to suggest a Employer of Record setup to which will abstract away a lot of compliance headaches for your company (e.g. https://www.letsdeel.com/ , https://www.boundlesshq.com/ , https://remote.com/)

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for the pointers, super helpful!

May I know what is the implication of not going UK payroll, i.e. earning foreign income? I might go for submitting an annual self assessment on my foreign income if there is no huge downside. Also definitely looking into "permanent establishment". The EOR suggestions are very helpful!
