Employees who spend most of their time abroad over a period of a year or more may be able to obtain full UK tax relief on their earnings. If your employee is on an overseas contract, it’s possible that the tax authorities in the overseas country will want to make tax deductions from your employee’s income.

But the tax liabilities falling on the UK ‘employer’ remain unclear.
