Invoice from Germany or UK for German client ?

German VAT is 19% isnt it? UK is 17.5%. If your accountant says you'd be better off invoicing as UK, ask him why.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really! -
2 weeks ago I would have said set up as Freiberuf in Germany.
I am not so sure now.
One of my colleagues has informed me that UK Ltds are now recognised in Germany (they werent at one time).
I am in the process of finding out the implications but all the advice on here and the PCG web site is well out of date.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Given this http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...dragonfly.html I think I'd stay well away from the UK.

I am resident in the UK. Ideal would be for a German company to pay my Ltd. Otherwise at least I need the travelling expenses (so I do not want to be salaried in Germany, place of work there, etc).Comment

Originally posted by expat View PostI have a problem here in that my client will not accept my Ltd, they need a German agency (or GmbH) in the way. Having found this contract directly, I'm not keen to pay an agency 15% or so to pass on the paperwork. Anyone know a middleman company in Germany that won't get too uppity, as if the are employing me?

They may be worried about headlease licences (AUG) but if they write the contract as a block of work they dont need to worry.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View PostWhy wont they allow your UK Ltd? I understand under German law they dont have a choice. Once the law recognised UK Ltds the client has to treat yours like it were a gmbh.

So far I'm looking at GULP, who I believe charge 6%. Seriously pissed off at that, when I have found the contract.Comment
