non-UK based company looking to contrat in the UK

[Confounded]

Now correct me if I'm wrong but your firm are intending to do neither.

Well, the representative working in the UK will have to pay the UK tax on his wages as he will be based there for more than 6 months, this is clear.

We just do not want to generate profits in our UK-based company.

1. Have you actually stated what country you want to operate this business model from? I haven't noticed if you have.

2. Based on your posts it looks like you want to supply people in as if they were individual UK contractors, working in the UK, but make them subject to taxation in another country.

3. People have already pointed out that even with the vague and obfuscated details you've provided it looks more than a little like you're trying to play fast and loose with tax law.

4. People have pointed out repeatedly that the CUK posters are either unable to answer your questions because they're a bit weird or unwilling as they would charge an absolute fortune for advising a company trying to set up business and you're after free advice.

5. Assuming you're actually real and not some outright troll (the jury decision on that is pending) you will need the VERY EXPENSIVE advice of professionals with a specialist skillset, They tend to be in large international companies as a small practice couldn't keep them in business.

It doesn't matter how many times you ask the same poorly framed question CUK is incapable or unwilling to answer it as quite honestly it looks like you're trying to take the mickey with the existing business and tax models.

1. We are based in Hungary.

2. No, the representative will be subject to income tax in the UK.

3. If it wasn't for the refusal of UK counterparties to work with non-UK based companies, which is not illegal, we would not have to "play" anything - we would just bill to our company.

Your representative must either be self-employed, working for your company in Hungary (which won't wash as the agencies won't touch that.) Or he/she must work through his own ltd. company. A third option is that he/she works through a brolly.

Coupled with this:

I'm locking the thread.
