    I have lived in Germany - it was a while ago. 2002/2003
    Word of warning:
    If you think HMRC are utter bastards - you ain't seen nothing yet!
    The german tax authorities make HMRC look like genial amenable plesant gentleman!
    You have been warned!

      Ah! I was under the impression that the OP was going to 'pretend-live' in Germany.

        That appeared to be the plan, yes. It's a remarkedly bad idea.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          I'm going through the same process, so might be able to help. Most of the information is in the link below. Essentially, you need to do Anmeldung in Germany (this is possible online due to the pandemic) then fill in an online form (link at the bottom of the webpage). You'll then be invited to come for an interview.

          Departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit) - Berlin.de

          Btw, if you don't have a place to do Anmeldung, feel free to give me a shout.
          Don't forget, that is already for people living in Germany as in order to register, you have to have an address and a letter from the landlord stating you live there. This is also only for Berlin, from experience, each state is handling it differently and in each state, some towns are different to others. These people tend to have the latest and greatest news for each EU country: Home | British in Europe
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            If you are resident then you are liable tax if you're not resident then you are not eligible for any residency permit.
            This isn't going to work.
            I'm alright Jack

              Look, it's not possible. It's a bulltulip idea. There is *NO WAY* that you would get a Meldbestätigung as a new entrant into Germany now. I just had to get a replacement to open a new bank account (must be less than three months old for the bank) and it took me four weeks as the offices are closed and everything is done remotely. No chance. Not at all. You have had *years* to prepare for this, FFS.

                It’s a tiny bit more nuanced than this. The Withdrawal Agreement in every way is a special case because of reciprocity. If the UK home office conspicuously declines to register EU nationals trying to register now, that’s one thing; otherwise efforts will be made. Years to prepare but this year is an almost total dud because of Corona. They will be utter bastards from 1st Jan onwards, before that it’s not a given.
