Payments to individuals

 

All payments to individuals must be made in accordance with the HMRC rules shown below and therefore we ask that any payments of this kind be made subject to the completion of the questionnaire below or a formal letter from the tax authorities stating that any work done for the University is made on a self employed basis. We are now required to have a process in place to capture such information before a decision is made to pay gross or via the Payroll Office, see guidance notes below.

Any questions on this issue should be referred to either Martin Davies on ext. 2033 or Stephen Humphreys on ext.8656.
