Tax Clearances - Foreign Entertainers and Sportspeople
At Frenkels Forensics Chartered Accountants we have the experience and expertise to ensure that non-UK resident sportspersons or entertainers and payers are able to pay the least amount of tax by ensuring that you obtain your reduced tax entitlement.
The FEU is the specialist tax office that handles these cases. They regularly check on entertainment activity in the UK, and could take action against you for failure to comply with the law. Our comprehensive advice will protect you against these problems and may well result in some tax repayments too.
Whether you are a non-UK resident sportsperson or entertainer or the actual payer you want to make sure that not only do you meet your tax obligations, but also that you do not overpay your taxes either.
If you are making any payment to a non-UK resident entertainer directly or indirectly for an appearance in the UK, the responsibility for deducting the tax and making payment to H M Revenue & Customs will fall on you, as you are deemed to be the payer.
