Hi,
I am a UK national and work for a Norwegian company with an office registered in the UK, so all employment income and tax due is summarised on my P60.
As part of my employment I sometimes have to travel to the Norway office (15% overall roughly) and this is where the trouble starts...
My company (after the fact) informed me that due to my travels they had enrolled me into the Norwegian tax system - not an issue as such until they explain how they tell the tax authorities there about my "earned" salary.
What they did was take my UK annual salary, pro-rate based on days in Norway, converted it to Norwegian NOK and submitted that as salary which then created a tax liability.
The issues with this are, they did not factor my UK salary down to account for the time in Norway so I've paid UK tax on 100% of my UK salary (which I do actually receive) and tax on a notional salary which i never get paid.
I think this is a really stupid idea and the HMRC are struggling to understand why they have done this. I can see this is double taxation, but the self assessment form doesn't seem to cover this as it only covers foreign income which this technically isn't. So as my P60 details already appear in my return automatically with my full salary, if I add a foreign income the system will think I've earned more than I have creating a further tax bill rather than a refund.
I am really puling my hair out with this as it covers 4 years and I'm waiting for a call back from the HMRC, but any comments or experiences that would help me understand would be appreciated.
Sorry if it isn't overly clear!
