Taxation for a Hong Kong Employer

Posted Tue, 24 Oct 2023 23:16:23 GMT by
Hi, I am a UK resident (with BNO Visa) and was recently hired as a permanent staff by a Hong Kong company. Does my HK employer have to pay for any tax in the UK? The HK employer has no presence in the UK.

Hi Tracykwok43,
The Hong Kong employer does not need to pay UK tax, they should not deduct any tax as this income would be taxable in the UK.  
You on the other hand, will need to report your foreign employment income in a self assessment tax return and pay tax on the income.  
You may need to contact the Hong Kong tax authorities to arrange for your employer not to deduct Hong Kong employmen tax.

Thank you.
