Brexit: tax implications for EU employees living and working in the UK

Jackie Hendley, head of tax at accounting firm Smith Cooper, explores the potential UK tax issues of Brexit, in particular what a No Deal Brexit might mean for EU employees living and working in the UK in terms of PAYE, NICs and short-term business visitors

With D-Day for Brexit looming and with no deal currently agreed between the UK and EU, there are a number of key tax issues tax directors need to plan for in the event of a No Deal scenario in March 2019.

Many companies and individuals from the EU are concerned about what the impact will be for foreign assignees coming to the UK.

Under a transition arrangement, EU law will continue to apply until 31 December 2020.

Although the precise details are not yet known, it is not currently anticipated that there will be any planned changes to the tax status of EU nationals.
