Hi SwissContractor,
Your UK employer (or their agent) can contact HMRC to apply for a direction to operate PAYE on an employee's earnings.
If agreed by HMRC, your employer can be authorised only to deduct tax on that part of your employment carried out while in the UK.
Your employer can submit a request here:
Apply for a direction to operate PAYE on an employee's earnings.
You will be required to complete a Self Assessment tax return every tax year, as part of this agreement.
Thank you
