limited company double taxation benefit

[united]

Hi
I got a email saying the below. Do you see this genuine?
- You will be an employee of our UK Organization.
- You will be paid salary by our UK company with PAYE deducting taxes.
- You also become an employee of our Indian counterpart and get paid salary in the UK plus Per Diem as living expenses which can be paid up to £250 maximum tax free.
- Tax will be deducted in India @ 10% on gross salary so no further tax liability remains in the UK according to the Double Taxation Treaty between UK-IND.
- All Global consulting companies who sends their employees to UK, follow the same route of paying per diem rather than all in salary to save taxes as employee benefit.
- We adopt the same method which is proven and used by HMRC.
- You get TAX Form 16 for the earnings you make in India, which is equivalent to P60 in the UK.
- As there is a treaty between India and UK for single taxation you can declare all your Indian income on your self assessment attaching Form 16, HMRC will credit your tax and you will be liable for no further tax as it is already being paid.
- At the end of the financial year you would be receiving P60 and Form 16

Sounds like Blatant tax avoidance to me.

I've got an Air Guitar for sale, £4,000 bargain, please send the money.

The DTA does not mean you can pick or choose the lowest tax regime, and fundamentally, TAX IS DUE WHERE THE WORK IS DONE.

TAX IS DUE WHERE THE WORK IS DONE apart from if you are talking about corporation tax paid by large Indian outsourcers.

No mention of it being QC Approved. Because of that I am out

Not sure it's 100% relevant due to the convoluted setup you've mentioned but have a look at this.

Plenty of other guides along the same lines that might be a closer fit to your situation but still, food for thought.

But it's not mainstream.
