Hi all,
I have read so many post about this im a little confused!
If i come over as a Secretary in KSA, will by wages be taxed by the UK?
if i have a little paid into a local account for myself, i would want to rest paid into a UK account so i can carry on paying my direct debits etc in the UK, would that part of the wage that i pay into my UK account be taxed?
OR, if i had the rest of my wage paid into an offshore account..could i still pay my UK direct debits through that account?
many thanks for your help!! X

Nobody can say what your UK tax situation would be without knowing your exact personal circumstances. There are too many different factors involved. You can refer to the following post in the UK Expats section of this forum for a couple of links that will give you the relevant information about determining your exact liability in regard to UK tax. /post/148293/thread

You only pay UK tax if you are in the UK for more than 91 days in the tax year, which is impossible as you do not have enough vacation time to do it.
You can have your salary paid into your UK bank account without paying any tax. Most UK banks have an offshore account facility and if you open one then you can pay all your bills from that account as normal. Its down to personal choice.

What is the benefit of having your salary paid into an offshore account over a UK bank account?

I believe, it would enable you to use the remittance basis should one return to the UK within five years. That is, if you were ordinarily resident and domiciled in the UK and were not out of the UK for a full five tax years, you might owe tax on monies earned while outside the UK. If you did not bring funds onshore, you are allowed to use a rule called remittance basis which means, provided money stays outside the UK you can have an IOU for any tax due on it.
I am not a tax adviser or an accountant.
