Need advice please

Heilyn

Hi all, just need some advice please...

My friend, who is a British citizen (but living & studying at university in the UAE full-time) has recently accepted a remote, part-time job (title is Writer & Narrative Designer) from an American game studio in Ohio.

He is paid $16 an hour and is allowed to work up to 40 hours a month. The questions I need answered are:

1. What would his status be? Perhaps a contractor?

2. Would he need to do anything at all with regards to declaring income or anything related to HMRC? If not, I assume he can just crack on without having to worry about any paperwork.

Thanks and please let me know if you need any further information.

Missing a lot of information here and not all the information to give a answer. Are they getting a contract of employment or are they getting told there self employed? There a chance they need to pay taxes if look up this should able find most of information.
