Its April and its starting to feel like spring with good weather in the UK. lots of top dressing going on crops, and In the USA some crews are starting to get combines moved to the south ready for the season to start in May. We have just about all our placements with Interviews booked at the US embassy and some have now arrived in the USA getting equipment ready for the season to start next month
Harvest Support Usa Uk are looking forward to the challenges of our 16th season placing people onto US custom harvest crews.
LAMMA SHOW 2026 was a great show as always and having the larger stand was much better, BUT sadly we will not be returning in 2027 as the cost for us has just got to be way to much,
So our plan will be to hold our Stansted event the last weekend of November, but we are going to change the format of how we do that, so what this space.
Our Facebook page has daily updates as to what is happening with the crews we work with, so please watch this for updates.
H2A and TAX UPDATE
PLEASE READ AND TAKE NOTE.
It seems this year the IRS are starting to get HOT on Foreign workers not paying Income tax, this has been brought to my attention from several guys placed on harvest crews who are now being asked to pay Income tax, which after research you are liable for.
The best I can advise is to make sure your employer deducts this from your pay at source.
You will be sent a W-2 form to submit to the IRS the following year.
If you work anything over 179 days you are liable for Income tax, you are not liable for Social Security or Medicare taxes.
Also, I advise NOT to pay what you could owe through the HMRC as this will not be past onto the IRS.
Please don’t let this put you off joining a US or Canadian Combine or Chopping crew, its an amazing experience and what you will gain from it will memories of a lifetime.
