7. Your claim for incidental travel expenses incurred in connection with your visit should be submitted on Form XC (0)14 via Mr Galsworthy, Hong Kong Department in the first instance.
8. As you know, the payment of fees is subject to income tax and national insurance which will be deducted at source. Tax will be deducted under PAYE:
if you have another employer or are self-employed, please advise your tax district and tax reference number so that the correct code number may be obtained. National insurance will be deducted at Class 1 rate unless you have reached pensionable age (60 for women, 65 for men). If you already pay sufficient Class 1 contributions through other employment you may apply to the DHSS to defer payment on one of your jobs; if you are self-employed and pay Class 2 contributions, you may be entitled to a refund on these contributions or obtain exemption from payment. Your local social security office will be able to advise you.
9. Pay Section in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will also notify the Paymaster General's Office of the payments made to you as these may affect your civil service pension.
10. I confirm that you will be covered for injury or death in the course of your duties or whilst on a bona fide duty journey under the terms of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme and that during the period you are in Hong Kong will be eligible for treatment under the terms of the Diplomatic Service Medical Scheme.
