UK or French PAYE

DateMonday, November 2, 2009 at 09:16AM

A limited company in France is going to employ a French resident who will be coming to live in the UK.

The question arises as to whether the company can continue to pay the salary under the French equivalent to PAYE or whether the company needs to set up a UK PAYE scheme.

The answer depends upon whether the French company will be operating via a branch in the UK or not. In this case there will be an office through which the business will operate and in which case the company will have to set up a PAYE scheme.

If the individual had merely been living in the UK with all orders etc being processed via France then there would be no branch.
