Working in the UK

The UK tax system is a minefield for those of us working in it on a full time basis. This is why it is often most sensible to consult with experts as to the correct procedures to follow.

As a foreign company entering the UK for the first time this can be even more daunting. The regulations and bureaucracy surrounding overseas companies coming to work in the UK are numerous and time-consuming, in particular within the Construction Industry. With an increasing amount of resources spent by the authorities to tackle such things as fraud and money laundering, the process seems to be held up further.

However, at DBS, we have established ourselves as specialists in this area and boast over 15 years of experience working with German and Austrian clients within the Construction Industry. Recent changes to the EU have helped to expand our expertise to work with companies from Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland.

What can we do for you?

  • VAT registration and completion of quarterly VAT returns on an ongoing basis.
  • CIS registration, along with the monthly administration required.
  • Set-up of a UK payroll scheme and the weekly/monthly payroll. We can also set up and run an ex-patriate payroll, dependant upon your requirements.
  • Computerised bookkeeping in line with all VAT and tax requirements on Sage accounting software and provision of monthly management figures, or as frequently as required.
  • Annual branch accounts and preparation and calculation of any Corporation Tax liability that may arise.
  • We have a very good relationship with our bank manager concerning our overseas clients, and can help arrange a meeting with Lloyds TSB in order to open a UK bank account.
  • Company set-up and registration, if you wish to establish a UK subsidiary.

Whatever your requirements, we will be happy to meet with you to discuss the best way to move forward.
