US citizen running UK PSC: taxes

[sdt99]

Thanks again for all the input. I'll keep this thread handy when I discuss possibilities with the UK/US tax expert later this week.

However, if you're an employee of the US company, and they do not have a taxable presence in the UK, that does not remove the need to operate PAYE in my understanding).

I was not suggesting the potential liability disappears. Simply that an emploer can refuse to operate a paye scheme. Direct collection or collection through satr then ensues. Obviously there may be reliefs in accordance with the dta.

it also used to be the case that ers ni was not due from a non eu employer who had no taxable presence, this may have changed.

Indeed, it wasn't directed at you; I was just adding some clarity for the OP (who may not be aware of these details).

I have an appointment to speak to a chap in London who is apparently a UK/US tax expert next week...

How did your appointment go? Would you recommend the company?

I unfortunately set up my UK LLC years ago without fully understanding the implications. So now I'm looking for an affordable expert to help me sort out UK & US tax issues, especially the US tax filing nightmare.
