INFORMATION RELATING TO PAYMENT OF EXTERNAL EXPERTS:

The University is legally obliged to make deductions of income tax and national insurance contributions from payments to an individual for work done.

All payments in respect of fees will be subject to deduction of income tax and national insurance contributions unless documentary evidence from the appropriate authority is provided.

In order for External Experts to receive payment of fees gross of any tax or National Insurance deductions, evidence from the Inland Revenue or National Insurance collector that substantiates their self-employed status must be provided when their appointment is approved.

Without such documentation, payment will be processed through the University payroll department with tax and national insurance deducted as appropriate.
