I’m scared to tell the CSA about my new job

July 10, 2014

Hello people, i have been on csa 1 paying for my daughter who is now 16 and a half , i have recentley started a job abroad, working for a canadian company in africa, the company has no ties to the uk and i get paid net pay direct from canada, any tax issues are dealt with by the company. i get paid net.

the question is am i out of jurisdiction?

i have been paying over 80 uk pounds per week for years and to be honest i am scared to tell the csa about the new job.

i cannot set up a private pament, because the ex has heard about the job and is wanting more!

to add, we were never in a relationship, it was “one of those things”-i know it takes two and i have been paying for years, but i just dont trust the csa, at the moment i have just told them i am on a career break from my uk job(which i am).

my wife is on maternity, and is going back to work soon and i will inform the csa of this.

but as for the work abroad i am just too worried to tel them.

by the way i work away for 2 months and home for 1. so i spend 8 months abroad.

to add, i am currently paying nothing because of my career break.

any help would be appreciated.

    don’t be scared to tell them as you are working for a foreign employer now you will be out of their jurisdiction write them a letter explaining that you are now moving abroad with your work and give them your employers address as you are csa 1 the case should be closed

    also someone has mentioned about REMO . the csa do not try the REMO route that has to be started by the pwc and if she hasn’t got an address in Africa for you then it will be impossible for her to get child support through REMO 🙂

    If you are still a resident in the UK you are still liable.
    If you are permanently living abroad then you are out of the CSA’s jurisdiction.

    I assume that your pay is not in £’s Stirling as it is a Canadian company? In which case you should inform the CSA of this as this then becomes outside of their jurisdiction and your assessment should be £0 even if you have a home in the UK. REMO will not come into it, the CSA ruling clearly states that the NRP income has to be in £’s Stirling.
    If you were to move abroad then REMO could be an option for the PWC.
