Insurance and contributions
7. International transport workers
You may work as part of the travelling or flying staff of an employer that carries goods or passengers by road, rail, air or inland waterways.
If you work in two or more EEA countries, you are insured under the UK scheme if:
- the employer you work for has its registered office or place of business in the UK;
- or the employer you work for has its registered office or place of business in another EEA country, and you work for a branch office in the UK;
- or you live in the UK and you work mainly in the UK, even if your employer does not have a registered office or place of business in the UK.
If none of these apply to you, you are insured under the scheme of the EEA country where your employer has its main office.
If you think that you may be covered by this section please contact HM Revenue and Customs giving details of your work to find out more.
