Hi guys new to forum and looking for some advice if possible hopefully someone in similar situation.
Currently separated for around 10months now, employed in uk paye with collect and pay setup.
I have been offered a position in Norway on a local contract so if accepted will be payed in NOK into Norwegian bank account.
Couple questions….
how does this stand with collect and pay ?
And my income post tax will be more than I make currently in uk but I will be paying between 40-50% tax so will be worse off post tax. Do they take this into consideration ?
I believe I will need to complete a uk self assessment as I will still be resident in uk but as there is a tax treaty between both countries I will not need to pay any uk tax.
Only reason considering accepting this job is a change in career path.
Hi,
If you don't report any changes to CMS then likely they will continue to collect payments from your UK account. May cause issues if the funds dry up in there. Is your employer deducting maintenance from your wages?
How long will this contract last in Norway?
They take payment direct from my current employer.
It will be permanent position I would need to apply for a residence/work permit in Norway and usually it’s valid for 5years.
@dadf90 ok, when your current job ends, you should let CMS know and send them evidence that job has ended. they should put you on nil rate, meaning you don't pay maintenance. you could tell them your moving to Norway and will be working there. Then it would be up to them if they want to engage with Norway authorities for continuing child maintenance payments.
@bill337 I take it my p45 would be evidence of no longer being employed ?
I have no problem paying just the additional 20% which hacks me off, I’m a mechanical engineer and been offered a position with a Norwegian oil supplier. I will be earning between 2-3k per week so it’s a lot of additional cost.
Would rathe just be putting money directly into her account and if/when I declare my foreign income it won’t be such a huge shock if they say I’m in arrears but hopefully they take the high Norwegian tax into consideration or it might not be worth while moving jobs.
@dadf90 yes p45 would be good. employer usually give you termination letter as well. also send that to CMS.
