Off Payroll Working

A key target issue with HMRC in recent years has been the focus on ensuring that individuals who look and feel like employees are moved onto the payroll of their employer rather than benefitting from the more generous self-employment basis. New legislation to take effect from April 2021 will significantly move the burden to businesses who use contractors. We can guide you to identify the risks to your business.

Non-cash rewards

We work with our Employment Related Securities specialists to address the taxation risks of share schemes, as well as the wider scope of benefits to ensure these are correctly captured and reported, but also tax efficient. Some favoured benefits, such as company cars, can carry significant tax burdens which can be reduced by making different choices.

Today few companies operate tax avoidance schemes in respect of their employees, but where EBT schemes or loans have been used, we can assist with resolving outstanding issues to achieve an amicable settlement with HMRC.

Cross border employees

The expert Employer Solutions team works closely with our global mobility specialists to ensure the complexities of international taxation are accurately reflected in the filing and reporting obligations of the countries you operate in. Brexit will only increase these complexities where reliance on EU reliefs ceases to be relevant. Our goal is to make you aware of the pitfalls before  they become an issue.

Dealing with HMRC

HMRC is increasing the number and scope of their employer compliance reviews. We will provide your business with the expertise – to navigate the often-complex tax legislation and to reach agreement with HMRC so that your business can move forward with confidence.
