Thankfully, the UK’s banking system makes it very easy to set up a new bank account here. You can open a new bank account when you arrive in the UK, as you will need a permanent address here to prove your identity. It is also important to have a national insurance (NI) number before you start your new job.
In terms of paying tax, if you work in the UK, your employer will deduct your income tax at source from your salary and pay this directly to HM Revenue & Customs through the UK’s ‘Pay As You Earn’ (PAYE) system.
