    IR35 review for non uk contract

    Would you get an Ir35 review done for say a German agency contract?

    Would you bother with ensuring contract falls outside ir35 if it's a foreign client? Does it matter ?

    Having a hard time explaining why I'm being anal about certain clauses to the German agent.

    Where are you working?

    Where are you taxed?

    What country's legislation is the agreement under?

      If all the above are Germany, then you really need to speak to a 'Buchhalter' (NLUK would say ask your accountant) - There are lots of advantages to working in Germany, starting off as a Freiberufler (as a freelancer in Germany you are not subject to trade tax), but you have to be completely compliment.

      Do a search on Vodafone, Mannesmann, Alexander Mann, to check out the complete bloodbath that happened when a tax audit was done on all contractors.

      Keep your nose clean, find 20% of work that is not with clientco and DE is simply a superb place to work.

      UK law ends at the beach and HMRC have no jurisdiction in DE. IR35 becomes irrelevant.

          You need to speak to a Steuerberater (accountant), not a Buchhalter (bookkeeper), though some firms will offer both, of course.

          There is or used to be a German accountant on CUK who would be worth getting into contact with. I'm sure you can find him if you look.
