    Overseas Shareholder Expenses

    Hi

    I am an overseas shareholder visits UK for local business work. I wanted to know how my expenses are treated when I visit UK for local company business and expenses incurred such as fuel, mobile etc, considering we are VAT registered? Do I have a threshold?

    Are my dividends subject to tax as well? if so what is the %?

    Any links on HRMC site that talks about shareholder expenses? I have invested in a few assets purchased from the company account, can these be reimbursed back to me without tax being applicable?

    In order to know what the tax implications of your dividends are we'd need to know where you're tax resident and possibly where you're domiciled.

    If you're incurring expenses or disbursements on behalf of a company then you could issue an invoice. If you're not personally registered for VAT then you won't charge the company any VAT. Whether or not there are any VAT requirements for the company depends on whether they recharge the client for any of these, and whether they are expenses or disbursements.

    What does your accountant say?

      The devil will be in the details and as ever you haven't given us many. I suspect there is a lot more to this than you are telling us. Are you visiting for a meeting or something or are you 'visiting' to do a 3 month contract?
