  • re Work for foreign company while living in the UK

    Hi
    As your employer is within the EU and has no UK premises, you will need to establish if you meet any of the following: Withdrawal Agreements, Trade and Co-Operation Agreement or UK-Ireland 2019 Agreement. If none apply, then you, as the employee, can register for either a DPNI scheme (tax and employee national insurance only) or a DCNI scheme (employee national insurance only) and report your tax via Self-Assessment. If you fall within one of the agreements, then your employer is required to register for PAYE purposes. Your employer can either register for an NI only scheme (both employer and employee national insurance) and you would declare your tax via Self-Assessment or they register for a full PAYE scheme to report and pay any tax and NI contributions to HMRC. To register a PAYE scheme, you or your employer can contact the Employer Helpline on 0300 200 3200. If you need assistance in determining whether you fall within the agreements mentioned above, you can contact the International Caseworkers on 0300 200 3500. Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on whether your employer is required to pay anything in Germany. They would need to contact the appropriate German authorities. 
  • re Registering for PAYE

    Hi
    To register as an employer, you need to enrol for the Online Services as an 'Organisation'. This will allow you access to the business tax account, which includes PAYE for Employers. You will have a separate user ID & password to your personal tax account. Once you have received your PAYE references, you will add these to your Business Tax Account which will generate an activation code to be issued to your business address. Once you have activated the online account, you will be able to use your new user ID & password to send your payroll submissions via your payroll software. If you need any assistance with the online account, please contact the Online Services Helpdesk on 0300 200 3600. If you have not already registered for the Online Services as an 'Organisation' you can do so here: HMRC online services: sign in or set up an account

  • re 2024 tax codes all changed

    Hi
    Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on employee tax codes via the Employer Forum. If HMRC has issued a new coding notice, this should be implemented as tax codes can change for a number of different reasons. If your employees believe there is an issue with their new tax code they will need to contact Personal Tax on 0300 200 3300. However, I can confirm that the basic personal allowance for 2024/25 will be £12570 with a tax code of 1257L. You can find this information online here: Tax codes to use from 6 April 2024
