Moneysoft overseas Director

Hi

I use moneysoft for Payroll.

I have a director who is not in the UK nor a UK citizen. Single Director only person in thecompany

He is asking me about earning a salary.

Clearly he will need to seek local advice regarding tax and their equivilent of NI. (social) on earnings from this UK company

But does anyone know what I need to do to set this person up in Moneysoft.

Do I need to register as an employer?
What tax code and NI do I use? Thinking of NT and X
Do I need to get authorisation from HMRC to use NI code X and a different tax code.

Thanks in advance.

"Coding for payroll purposes for non-resident employees who have never been resident in the UK
Where a business in the UK or the UK branch or office
of an overseas business employs an employee who is
non-resident, and:
• the employee is working wholly outside the UK
• the employee has not been resident in the UK before
• the employee does not intend to and will not perform any duties in the UK.
Code ‘NT’ may be used for payroll purposes if the paying system demands a code number.
No P14 or entry on the P35 is required and there is no liability for NICs.
If the residency position of the employee or the place the duties are performed change so that the employee becomes liable to UK tax, you should immediately stop using code ‘NT’ and follow the P46/P46 Expat procedure, as if the employee is a new employee with no P45."
