Guidance

STOP PRESS: At Spring Budget 2024, the Chancellor announced that the remittance basis would be abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

HMRC offers two arrangements that relax the strict PAYE procedures in respect of social security / NIC. One of these is the modified NIC arrangement covering outbound employees who are UK nationals, but who have been sent to work on an overseas assignment by a UK employer, known as ‘EP Appendix 7B ― Modified Class 1 NIC for employees assigned from the UK to work overseas’ (EP APP 7B). The EP APP 7B application form is available at PAYE82004.
