Paying Tax when working for a US company but living in the UK

ClareDugmore

I recently gained employment with a US publishing company, working from home in the UK as a social media marketer.

I called up the inland revenue to complete my tax credits annual renewal, and upon giving them the US address of my new employer, they told me that as it was outside of the UK I would not have a PAYE number.

How do I go about paying national insurance and income tax in this circumstance. Should I class myself as self-employed, even though I technically am not?

Any help and advice would be most appreciated.

I imagine you will need to speak to the tax side of HMRC. Are they deducting US tax?

If your username is your actual name you may want to amend it, it would be very easy for people to identify you if they so wanted to.

I didn't think you were allowed to change your username on vBulletin boards.

I don't know its not something I have ever tried to do but if you message the forum team they can do it for you.

And if they can't change it then just start again with a new identity.

I'm sure no one will be searching for Clare dug more just because you used it as a username
