My UK staffing company has been asked to send four uk engineers to Taiwan for two years to work on a clients site. I need some basic advice on how to manage the work visa issue and if we as a company will need to register there?
- To keep it simple, is it easier for the Taiwan client to employ these people or for us to register in Taiwan and to manage the process remotely?
- Is there any tax advantages to the personnel if they are employed via the UK or via Taiwan or is the rate of tax the same regardless.
- If the the expats are employed via the Taiwan client company can they, and do they need to, still pay into the uk n.i. system ?
Basically, we would prefer to hand the liability over to the local company but need to know if it makes any difference to the salary/ earnings of the expats.
Thanks all,
Jocko
