• In the year of departure, the date the employee was sent abroad
• The 6 April of the year following departure

• For the rest of that tax year the employer may run separate PAYE records (each operating cumulatively) on the UK pay paid up to departure and after departure - this means that two separate forms P14 / FPS (end of year documents) must be used for the year of departure from the UK
