Working for a USA Client from UK - Business or Personal Bank Account

my first freelance gig was in 1974.

So you keep telling us.

I got a contract offer from a company in USA and they have no company here in UK.
So they will be using a portal called - deel.com for making payments and this company will take care of the Payroll, taxes etc.

Client mentioned the amount i receive will be before tax.

1. Can i give my personal bank account for receiving the payments or i have to give LTD company Business Bank account?
2. If i give my Personal Bank account do i have to pay Taxes in UK for the amount i am receiving from US?

Thanks.

I would go back to the client and ask if they would let you bill as a uk ltd instead of going through deel.com and getting hit with PAYE. Then you would have a sweet deal - salary in dollars and a solid get out for IR35, since they have no uk company. The worst they could do is say no - and maybe they will be happy to say yes as it simplifies things for them too, and should cost them the same.

It does not seem to me that deel adds any value to either party, unless you client has lots of uk contractors and sees deel as a convenient system to hide the complexities of uk taxation from them.

So you keep telling us.

maybe repeating it often enough will get through to even 'developer' or <insert fancy title> 'manager' brains then.
