When "my friend" was contracting in CPH (for around 3 years), he was operating through UK Limited company, through an UK agency, being paid in GBP in the UK. he was commuting every week. Mon-Thu CPH, Fri - WFH. Occasionally WFH for a whole week. Never had any CPR number because main residence was in the UK. If you are planning to rent an apartment, you need CPR and will have to sign minimum contract of 6-12 months though.

I've just had a call with a guy from Access Financial - I've looked them up on here and they have elicited quite a few comments....
They rang me because my Accountants (Brookson) asked them to talk to me about my situation.
I had no idea who they were or why I should need them - the guy I spoke to seemed very knowledgeable however.
One thing he mentioned which I'd like to put out there for comments is that if there is something in my contract with my Agency (in my case a US agency) that says I am UK based with occasional trips to other countries as and when necessary then I may be able to pay just UK taxes.
The US company I may be working on may well be putting me in other European countries also (Finland has been mentioned)
Does this sound like a dodgy idea?Comment

You have to do a mixture of working out yourself and getting professional help to find it out as it is country specific.

I can link the people I'm working through if the mods will allow me to. They know the law in this area inside out.Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostYes, it's just you and yourco that matters to the Danish tax people, the agency doesn't enter into it since they aren't working in Denmark.

Originally posted by missinggreenfields View PostEven if this were true, do you think that working in the same country for four days of the week counts as an occasional trip?
But if I'm working for 3 or 4 days in Denmark then a week or 2 in Finland then somewhere else that seems more occasional.
IPSE recommend ItsInternational Limited - I will get in touch with them also.
I think what I need to do is to find out exactly what I'm going to be required to do and where before wasting everyone's time with half questions.Comment
