EEA Employees - Payroll

Hi everyone,

I have just started a new job with a company with an international presence - something i have never done before.  They hire EEA nationals in their own countries and this goes through UK payroll (which i will be taking over and then bring in house).  My manager has asked me to find the form a new employee from Denmark needs to complete.  The only ones I can find are either the starter checklist (old p46) or CA3821 which is deisgned for employees from the UK being sent to work internationally, as far as i can tell.

Does anyone have any further insight in this area?  I understand the company to have the legalities in place (presence in the country) to legalise this process, but its not something i have any knowledge of yet.

Thanks so much!

  • Hi Kat

    My issue is similar. We are taking on an employee in Sweden and I am told we can just put them on our UK payroll (so long as they fulfil a right to work/permit - aka EU passport.).

    However I have read that we also need to register in the country

    "...employers are subject to the local employment laws and social and other taxes and obligations of the EU country in which they employ workers. Article 21 states that where the employer does not have a place of business in the country in which the employee is employed, the employee may agree that they will (personally) fulfil the employer’s social tax obligations. This does not absolve the employer of their statutory obligations"

    I've tried looking at www.skatteverket.se - but can't find what is relevant to our situation regarding registering.

    Is anyone out there able to advise us on this? Do we need to get the help of a Swedish company or input by a specialist in the UK?

    Sorry this doesn't help you Kat but hopefully the same person can answer both of our queries?!

    Thanks so much
