  • IRS Trap, Sending UK Employees to the US Could Financially Ruin Your Business

    IRS Trap, Sending UK Employees to the US Could Financially Ruin Your Business

    A UK employee flies to the United States for a few business meetings. Simple, harmless, low risk, surely?

    Not always.

    In today’s episode, Simon Misiewicz of Optimise Accountants explores the dangerous grey area between a straightforward US business visit and a situation that could create serious visa, tax, payroll, insurance and HR problems for UK businesses.

    We look at when a short trip to the United States may be low risk, such as a UK employee attending internal meetings, meeting colleagues, putting faces to names and having no direct involvement with US customers, contracts or billable work.

    We then move into the much more serious scenario, a UK employee being sent to the United States for several months, working with clients, supporting an IT system, developing solutions, helping the US group company and contributing to customer income.

    This is where the questions begin.

    Is the employee still simply visiting America, or are they working there? Could a B1 visa still be appropriate, or should proper immigration advice be taken? Could the IRS argue that the employee has US taxable income because they are physically carrying out work on US soil? Could the UK business create permanent establishment concerns? Could the employee become exposed to US tax residency, worldwide income reporting, bank account disclosures, investment reporting and pension reporting?

    Simon also discusses why employers must think beyond tax. Insurance, travel cover, payroll, social security, the UK US totalisation agreement, HR policies and internal procedures all need to be reviewed before sending UK staff to America.

    This episode is essential listening for UK business owners, finance directors, HR teams, accountants, expats and globally mobile employees who want to avoid expensive surprises when crossing the Atlantic for work.

  • Why has your US customer taken 30% tax from your invoice?

    Why has your US customer taken 30% tax from your invoice?
    2026/06/29
    Send us a message Imagine this. You are a UK business owner, you do some work for a US customer, you send them an invoice for $10,000, and then only $7,000 lands in your bank account. The missing $3,000 has not vanished. Your US customer may have withheld 30% and paid it over to the IRS. This can feel deeply unfair, especially when you still need to report the full income in your UK accounts or self assessment tax return. The problem is that many UK businesses only discover this after the money has already been withheld. The bigger question is this, was the 30% withholding even necessary in the first place? The simple example that causes a lot of confusion Let us say you invoice a US company $10,000 for consulting work. They withhold $3,000 and pay you $7,000. From a UK tax point of view, you may still need to show the full $10,000 as income, converted into pounds. The $3,000 withheld may then need to be shown as foreign tax suffered, depending on the facts. This is where people panic. They think, “I have already paid tax in America, why am I paying tax again in the UK?” The answer depends on whether the US tax was correctly withheld, whether a tax treaty position applies, and how the income is reported in your UK tax return or company accounts.For example, if a UK limited company made $10,000 of profit and the UK corporation tax bill was lower than the US tax withheld, you could end up with a messy and inefficient position. You may have paid more to the IRS than was needed, while still having UK compliance work to deal with. Could the US withholding have been avoided? In many cases, the answer may be yes.The US and UK have a tax treaty. This can sometimes allow a UK person or UK company to reduce or remove US withholding tax, provided the right forms are completed and given to the US customer before payment is made.This is the part many people miss.The paperwork often needs to be handled before the US customer pays you. Once the money has already been withheld, fixing it can become much harder, slower and more frustrating.Think of it like airport security. If you have the right documents before you arrive, things move smoothly. If you turn up without them, you may still get through, but it takes longer and everyone becomes slightly irritated.Do not forget VAT US tax is not the only issue. UK VAT can also cause confusion, especially when selling services, digital products, online courses, templates, downloads or other products through platforms such as Shopify, Etsy or your own website.A UK business selling services to a US business may have a different VAT answer from a UK business selling services to a private individual in the US.Digital products can be even more complicated.The danger is that you do not charge VAT when you should have done. HMRC may then ask you for VAT that you never collected from the customer. That means the cost comes out of your own pocket.The real lesson The painful part is not always the tax itself. It is the surprise. A UK business owner can lose 30% to US withholding, misunderstand the UK reporting position, forget to claim credit where available, miss treaty paperwork, and then get confused by VAT rules. That is why cross border tax should be looked at before the first invoice is sent, not after the money has been reduced. Next steps Before working with a US customer, check whether US withholding tax may apply. Ask whether you need to provide US tax forms before payment is made. Review how the income will be shown in your UK accounts or tax return. Consider whether UK VAT applies, especially if you sell to consumers or provide digital products. Get advice before the invoice is paid, because prevention is usually easier than trying to recover tax later.

  • British Businesses Selling To America, The Tax Trap That Could Cost You 30%

    British Businesses Selling To America, The Tax Trap That Could Cost You 30%
    2026/06/22

    Send us a message

    British business owners are being tempted by the huge opportunity of selling products and services into the United States, but the wrong tax structure could destroy your profits before the money even lands in your bank account.

    In today’s episode, Simon Misiewicz of Optimise Accountants explains the legal and tax choices facing UK businesses that want American clients, without necessarily moving to America. We compare UK sole trader status, UK limited companies, LLPs, US LLCs and C Corporations, and why the structure that looks simple at the start may create tax, cash flow and legal problems later.

    We also discuss why American customers may prefer working with US based business entities, why UK businesses can look attractive to US buyers, how average UK and US income levels influence pricing expectations, and why some US customers may refuse to pay a UK company directly.

    One of the biggest dangers covered in this episode is the risk of 30% US withholding tax. A UK business may invoice a US customer for $10,000, only to be told that $3,000 must be withheld and sent to the IRS. Simon explains why this can happen, how the US UK tax treaty and permanent establishment rules may affect the answer, and why getting the right advice before you trade with America matters.

    This episode is ideal for UK entrepreneurs, consultants, agencies, accountants, online businesses and professional service firms that want to win American clients while protecting profits, reducing tax mistakes and choosing the right UK or US business structure.
