The Tax Factor - Episode 53 - Side hustles, Budget thoughts, exit taxes and Jaffa cakes

Debutants David Livitt and Joe Lankester join us for the latest episode of The Tax Factor, exploring a mix of global policy updates, unusual living arrangements and a standout VAT tribunal case.

The episode begins with new OECD guidance on global remote working, looking at how businesses can manage the tax risks of employees working across borders and why permanent establishment remains a key concern for internationally mobile workforces.

David and Joe also discuss reports surrounding Green Party deputy leader Zack Polanski and questions over whether the correct council tax was being paid on his houseboat in East London. They explore how “sole or main residence” rules can create unexpected tax issues in modern living arrangements. The episode concludes with a look at the latest VAT case involving mega marshmallows, and what it reveals about the challenges of classifying modern products within traditional tax rules.

Football, tax tribunals and residency rules all come under the spotlight in this week’s episode of The Tax Factor, as Paul Noble and Robert Salter discuss some of the latest stories making headlines across the tax world.

The episode begins with the high-profile PGMOL case against HMRC, exploring why part-time football referees were ultimately found to be self-employed and what the decision could mean for wider employment status disputes. Paul and Robert discuss the importance of looking beyond simple “tick-box” tests and why the case reinforces the need to consider the full picture.

They also examine a significant residency case involving transit days and exceptional circumstances, before turning to the growing differences between Scottish and UK income tax rates and the practical implications for workers on either side of the border.

This week on The Tax Factor, John Bull and Sean Drury focus on the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime, one of the most significant recent changes to the UK tax landscape for internationally mobile individuals. They begin by outlining how the regime works in practice, who it applies to, and how it differs from the previous remittance basis.

The episode explores the practical implications for taxpayers, particularly the increased reporting requirements and compliance burden that come with the new rules. John and Sean discuss the challenges individuals now face as they navigate the regime for the first time, as well as the potential cost and complexity involved.

They also consider the wider impact on employers and globally mobile workforces, alongside the policy intent behind the regime and whether further changes may be on the horizon.
