Here's something to look out for: If the amount you invoice them (including expenses) could exceed the VAT threshold, you'll need to register for VAT, and you'll need to charge them VAT too! Why? Because the services you are delivering are being delivered in the UK and therefore subject to VAT. You can be certain that the US company will not want to pay an extra 20% for your services.

Help Please!
Hi. Looking for any advice please!
I've been offered a job working in the UK for an American based company (l'm in sales). They have no base or infrastructure in the UK and l would be the only employee in the UK. They want me to invoice them each month for my salary/expenses and arrange to pay tax/NI myself. I would not be working for anyone else.
As l've always been a PAYE employee before l have no idea what l have to do to set this arrangement up. Can anyone give me some advice/guidance of what l need to do please. My salary would be circa £50-60k pa.
Thank you.
