Taking the complexity out of moving employees and directors to and from the UK
Moving employees, executives and stakeholders internationally presents a unique set of tax, payroll and compliance challenges. Whether relocating individuals to the UK, supporting a globally mobile workforce, or hiring workers in another country, there are significant work visa, employment tax and reporting obligations requires careful planning and coordination.
We work with both employers and individuals to simplify the complexities of international mobility, helping ensure assignments are structured efficiently, compliance obligations are met, and transitions into the UK are managed seamlessly.
Areas we cover
Assignment planning, looking at tax-efficiencies and structuring & costings of international moves, covering areas such as relocation costs and tax equalisation
Payroll advice and support, including operating shadow and modified payrolls
Advising on social security liabilities and obtaining Certificates of Coverage to confirm
Monitoring “short term business visitors” to the UK activity and assisting in HMRC reporting where appropriate
Taxation of non-resident directors with UK work days
Taxation of share and share option scheme awards for internationally mobile employees
Our approach
Not all moves are the same and so we take an agile and customised approach to global mobility, considering the tax, payroll, immigration and employment implications of each move to help clients manage risk whilst supporting their commercial objectives.
We assist employers and individuals throughout the mobility lifecycle, from pre-arrival planning and UK entry through to ongoing compliance and assignment support, providing practical guidance that helps take the complexity out of moving people across borders.
Who we help
Employers and individual workers where there are international aspects to the employment.
