Hello,
I'm seeking clarity on what seems to be either the biggest scam going or a just a big misunderstanding on my part.
I'm a UK resident contractor with my own UK ltd company.
I've got an offer of a contract for only 4 months in Germany.
The contract would be direct between myself and the client (a German GMBH).
The internet (from what I can see) suggests I need to register for an AUG license, except for one site, which goes into a little more detail and stops using the word "agency".
It is suggested that if I am a consultant (I am an IT consultant) and I supervise myself and perform my own work (I do) then I do not need to register for an AUG license as there is already a clear definition that seperates me from my client and their employees.
Is there anyone out there that can confirm if they have been or are in a similar situation and what is the definitive answer?
Lastly, and on a semi related note, if I'm staying in Germany for this contract and I stay over weekends because it's cheaper than commuting, can I claim for my weekend rent or hotel as a business expense?
Thanks in advance.
