Contracting in Belgium

[andyamstrad]

Hi I will be doing a 6-12 month contract in Belgium at the start of Jan 07.

Can you suggest any good umbrella companies?

Also what is the best method to get the best return on your income, one company projects I retaing 79% of my income, can I do better than this?

The method they use is to pay a minimal wage in belgium and then setup an offshore where Im paid a monthly dividend. For some reason they have told me I cannot offset any expsenses to reduce my tax liability??

Thanks for some advice
