A friend of ours living here has been offered a ‘remote learning’ position by a UK school and wants to know how he stands regarding tax etc. With his wife he already has a business running a gite but bookings have fallen off a cliff so he’s thinking about going back to teaching.
It’s complex Tim. I presume your friend is tax resident in France and that the UK school has no presence in France? If they do then the simplest is for them to employ him here and to cross-charge the UK entity. If they don’t then it’s messy for all concerned, and professional advice is a must. In a past life I’d staff abroad and worked abroad myself so I’ve had the best advice from the employer AND the employee perspective from PWC and KPMG. It’s tricky.
Ahh, KPMG were our tax advisors and PWC our auditors. My daughter’s best pal from school’s dad was a partner in KPMG’s consulting wing (Bearing point as is now). Small World eh?
