I'm working for a smaller US company (hitting 100 people across the whole organisation soon), as a remote employee in the UK.

The arangement is a third party hires me as an employee in the UK, where I receive all the British employment rights (holidays, etc), and I just work for the US company. This is a fairly new thing for them, previously they had only taken on non-US persons through contracting companies.

I would guess that if larger companies were going to hire abroad, they would either have a local setup to manage payroll or do something similar to where I am now. No idea how many are really offering something like that.

What is the benefit to this? Why don't you just make your own UK corp? Then you can write off a load of stuff against the company, get VAT back, and decide what dividend you want to get.
