Hi
First off thanks to all involved for such a helpful site & forum, has really helped this newbie. Just been made redundant but been offered a 6-month contract with a US company; hadn't particularly fancied contracting but it's a great job and may lead to something permanent so am going to give it a go. I'm not sure what form the contract will take but trying to get some background info. There are a number of posts here covering this situation so I've got a reasonable idea of how it might be handled, either by setting up my own company or using an umbrella, billing the US company. I'd just like some thoughts on another alternative: they have a German office, is there any mileage in me contracting to them, rather than the US Head Office? It may be that this would just make things even more complicated, but thought that potentially the EU might work in my favour here ? Ta
