Payroll Services UK
for Overseas Businesses

Non-resident overseas businesses wishing to establish operations in the UK usually require advice and assistance in setting up and operating payroll.

And there are other compliance issues to be addressed concerning business registration and taxation:

UK Payroll

An employee carrying on his duties in the UK, other than for short visits, obliges his employer to operate Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) and account for payroll taxes levied both on the employee and his employer.

The U.K.'s payroll regime is complex and a familiarity with current rules to ensure proper and timely compliance is essential. Our UK payroll service ensures that your obligations are properly discharged.

Business Registration

The UK Registrar of Companies maintains a regulatory regime involving notification of activity and where necessary the lodgement of certain documents on the public register. It extends to overseas companies represented here whether by a branch or a place of business. We can assist in identifying your obligations and making the necessary submissions.

Should you be wishing to purchase a UK registered company, perhaps as a wholly owned subsidiary of your overseas company, we are also able to advise and assist with its purchase and all initial compliance.

UK Business Taxation

Taxes are levied on the profits of businesses that are deemed to be carrying on a trade in the UK. Whether or not the activities carried on within the UK amount to a trade is a question of fact but the rules can give rise to uncertainty. It is therefore essential that the matter be considered at the outset.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on supplies of goods and services which are deemed to fall within the scope of the UK VAT regime. If there is an international dimension to the transactions there are further complex regulations to consider, not least for intra-EC trading.

We can advise you with these matters and if necessary make appropriate submissions to the tax authorities.

Taxation of Employees

Should any of your UK or expatriate employees become liable to complete a UK tax return we can provide, via our sister company Payecheck Ltd, a tax return preparation service.

We are able to advise and assist smaller businesses with regard to any or all of these and related matters. Your initial consultation involves you in no obligation -- please call +44 (0) 1461 204121 and ask for Mr Arthur Eggleton.
