Hi Sandi,

Re: Ankesh... it's a brilliant system!

Thanks Dien for your kind words :)

To everyone who has emailed me - the report will be out very very soon. I've written the report. Am in the process of setting up the sales letter and systems for it.

Re: Deal Making Skills...

Hi friends, I work at a University and I have some visiting researchers coming over for weekly periods to engage in research. They get their salary by the company in France but I wanted to know whether we should tax them as according to my interpretation of Article 21 of the double taxation agreement, they should not pay tax in the UK. Is anyone else who have helpful suggestions on this as I am not sure if we are following the correct procedure?

However, many countries have double-taxation agreements. That generally means that if a person is receiving a salary from one place, and paying taxes on it, they should not be taxed in the other place. (Otherwise they would be taxed twice.)

I don't know for sure, but I would be very surprised if the UK and France didn't have such an agreement. However, to be sure, you probably need to see an accountant. You probably have accounting professionals working at your university who can tell you the answer, since I'm sure this can't be the first time this has happened...

Best of luck,

Dien

No Tax Payable/Collectable

CCSharon,

Thanks for asking.

You are Not their employer or payer, so why would you want to tax them?

They don't live in your country and are not employed by anyone in your country nor paid by anyone in your country. Hence, you do not tax them. Simple. Leave their employer to do what needs to be done. They are not residents for tax purposes.
