    Moving payroll abroad ?

    It is possible to operate a parent company abroad (in HongKong, my home), and have an associated limited company in UK for contracting?

    In a nutshell, would like to move payroll abroad back home, as it'd give me better flexibility.

    Any clean way to do this? Not trying to avoid tax, would probably get double tax maybe (?), but it is a trade off I am willing to have.

    Or would HMRC sees this as tax avoidance?

    What's a clean and legal way to do this?

    If you mean can you employ yourself through a Hong Kong company and tax yourself there for work you do in the UK. The answer is no.
    I'm alright Jack

      Can I tax myself income and dividend tax here in UK as a UK resident?

      Basically want pay slips/roll/money from the HK company.

          It's very hard to give advice unless we know the reasons behind why you're asking, as you might be asking the wrong questions to get the result you want. What are you trying to achieve, and why?

            ”Hello people of this free internet forum, here's half a story about a potentially very complicated setup/scam I am trying to pull, can you help me?”

            You need a paid accountant, not advice from an internet forum.
