Go to Employees on the left panel.
Click on the New Employee tab.
In the Personal Details section, enter the employee’s information.
In the Employment Details section, fill in the fields.
In the Address Details section, select the radio-button for Foreign address.
Enter the employee’s address in the field box.
Click on Continue.
Enter the worker’s Tax Details, Payment Details, and wage information.
Select Continue.
Enter the Taxable Code.
Click on Save.

After following these steps, you should see the employee added to your payroll. I'm attaching a link with detailed instructions on how to add an employee: Add, update an employee record.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I will only employ non-UK resident who will work in other countries, so I am not registered in PAYE and there is no need to apply to HMRC to pay such employees without PAYE

As non UK resident employees, there is no tax details and no taxable code. They will be paid on a gross basis.

It is different than a UK employee working abroad.

How should I do it?

Thank you.

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, @Telecompta.

I’m happy to point you in the right direction on how to enter a non-UK resident employee.

Based on the details provided, enter the employee as a supplier, then create an expense to pay them. Before proceeding, make sure to turn the Multi-currency feature first so you can add and pay your contractor using a different currency.

This feature is only available in the Essentials and Plus version. Let me walk you through the process.

To turn on the Multi-Currency:

Go to the Gear icon at the top.
Under Your Company, choose Account and Settings.
Click the Advanced tab on the left panel.
Click on the Pencil icon for Currency, then choose your Home Currency.
Select the Multicurrency box to turn the feature on, then choose Save.
Click on Done.

Here's an article with detailed information about this feature: Multi-currency.

To add a supplier:

Go to Expenses on the left panel, then select Suppliers.
Click on the Add a supplier tab.
In the Supplier Information window, enter the name.
Input the address in the Address section.
Fill in the necessary fields.
Click on Save.

I've attached screenshots on how it looks like following these steps:

There you go. You should now be able to track your non-UK supplier.

If you have any follow-up questions or concerns, please let me know by leaving a comment. I’ll be ready to lend a helping hand. Have a great rest of your day.

Hello Quickbooks team,

I am facing the same problem - would appreciate some clarification here.

I am a non-resident director of the company (never been a UK resident, therefore no tax code),
1/ should I proceed with what was suggested in this thread and add NT as my tax code?
2/ What should I input as the NI letter?

Hello DaniaIN,

Welcome to the Community page,

If you are unsure what to enter in the boxes we would advise you speak to an accountant who would be able to advise on what to enter in there.
