Alot of the companies over there are British and have a proportion of British workers ,if the company they are working for is based in the uk then they will pay British tax on their earnings ,and don't forget the embassy staff .even if the company is not British if the worker is in Britain for 183 days or more in a tax year then he/she is classed as living in Britain and will pay British tax
