Guidance

HMRC offers two arrangements that relax the strict PAYE procedures in respect of social security / NIC. One of these is the modified NIC arrangement covering outbound employees who are UK nationals, but who have been sent to work on an overseas assignment by a UK employer, known as ‘EP Appendix 7B ― Modified Class 1 NIC for employees assigned from the UK to work overseas’ (EP APP 7B). The EP APP 7B application form is available at PAYE82004.

A modified NIC settlement scheme is available for UK employers that have employees seconded abroad and where their employee satisfies all of the following conditions:

•
is assigned to work abroad for a period of limited duration, but for more than a complete tax year
•
is non-resident in the UK and not liable for UK tax on earnings from the relevant employment
•
has an ongoing liability to UK NIC whilst working abroad
•
pays Class 1 NIC on earnings in excess of the upper earnings limit for all
