Teaching Personnel & Key Portfolio
To help you get more from supply teaching in the UK, Teaching Personnel work with Key Portfolio who specialise in payroll services for teachers and teaching assistants.
Key Portfolio is a PAYE Umbrella Company (PAYE is the tax system in the UK). Being paid through Key Portfolio enables you to benefit from your 'site-based' status as a temporary worker in the UK. This means you will be able to treat work-related expenses as tax and National Insurance (NI) free amounts (known as offsetting your expenses), giving you the potential to increase your take-home pay.
In addition to this, Teaching Personnel guarantees to increase your take-home pay by ensuring you will always be at least £1 better off when you are paid through Key Portfolio.
What Expenses can be offset?
There is a range of work-related expenses that you may be entitled to offset when working as a 'site-based' worker. Some examples are:
- Subsistence Costs – Breakfast, Lunch, Late Working
- Mileage & Travel expenses to get to and from work
- Stationery
- Training courses
- Books & journals
- Professional Subscriptions
Non-UK Nationals may also qualify to offset additional expenses including:
- Flights – The full cost of journeys from the country where you usually live and back home again after carrying out your assignments. There is no limit on the number of journeys you can offset. You may also be able to offset travel costs for family members.
- Accommodation – Your accommodation costs in the UK.
- Additional subsistence costs – The reasonable costs of meals whilst working away from home on business (excluding the purchase of groceries). Receipts must be provided for these meals. Alternatively, you may offset a Scale-rate payment amount of £25 per night meaning you don’t need to provide receipts.
These expenses can be offset for a maximum period of five years from your date of arrival in the UK.
As you may qualify as a Non-UK National, bring your original travel receipts for your flights to the UK with you to be able to offset this cost against your income.
Full details of the expenses you can offset and the qualifying criteria can be found in Key Portfolio’s Expense Guide available at www.mykeypay.com. Your local Teaching Personnel consultant will also explain the process for offsetting your expenses during your interview.
