Hello!
Please could anybody help us with the next question.
We are a Cyprus company and have one of our Sales offices in London.
We are not registered in the UK.
We have one Sales manager in the UK office, a citizen of the UK.
He performs his duties as a contractor and he asked us to hire him as our Cyprus company full-time employee.
However, we would not like to open a UK branch or subsidiary only because of the employment case.
Must we do it?
Our Cyprus accountants told us that we would need to pay him his gross salary and he would be responsible for all his UK taxes (income tax and national Insurance) further and there would be NO any payroll related taxes in Cyprus.
Please could anybody from local UK accountants clarify:
1) if is it possible to have him on our Cyprus company payroll without establishing legal UK entity (branch/subisdiary)?
or we must establish a tax presence in UK to have him as our employee?
2)If there are any UK payroll taxes related to the employment that our Cyprus company should be aware and must pay for the employee in the UK?
3) How do we need to formalize the employment? Is it possible to have a signed contract with him where his full-time employee status will be specified?
Thank you
