I wish to employ my spouse as a salaried employee in my UK limited company. She's a non-EU citizen, resident in Holland where she has a work permit, and never lived in the UK. Is it possible to have a UK employment contract with her while working as overseas staff, so that she is subject to UK taxes?

She is liable to taxes where she is resident. If she's working for your company in the Netherlands, then that's where she pays taxes.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -

Even so, by having a close connection to the Netherlands, she would have to pay the balance in taxes in the Netherlands as well.Comment

Thanks for the replies. My hope was that she could pay taxes in the UK and not pay taxes in the Netherlands due to the double taxation agreement, thereby benefiting from both allowances. However, my accountant has since informed me that she needs an NI number, and she can only have this if she is eligible to work in the UK, which she is not. So, it's a nonstarter anyway.Comment

A simple £1200 visa application will get her a 5 year one - if married to you and you earn over £20K
Thought about the dividend route ?Comment

I'm not sure the dividend option will work as she won't have access to the UK personal allowance without an NI number. But I suppose it's an alternative option if she gets the visa. She could use the whole of the £11,850 allowance instead of just £8424 of it if she's paid a salary.Comment
