Contracting in The Hague (Netherlands)?

[Turion]

So, staying 4 nights a week in a B&B is OK?

Yes, that's what I do. No probs and also know other consultants doing the same. One of my former collegues was investigated by the gestapo, but could easily prove his status. As long as your main base and tax residency is legitimately elsewhere and you pay tax there - No need to declare if you've got nothing to hide.

Thank you, that helps a lot.

sorry to bring this back up,

lets say you have a contract in the NL for 3 months.

If you only return to the UK twice a month but stay in hotels/b&bs would that fall foul of the local tax laws?

Alternatively, same scenario above, but rented a flat for 3 months?

The thought of living in a hotel is horrible, id need to rent a flat, but this I take it from what has been said, means im shagged from a tax perspective?

From the above posts my take now would be to find out what the agency (and client) are happy with. If they are happy with your UK limited make sure you are in the NL less than 183 days in a tax year and do whatever you like.

thanks Jubber,

wow the more I look into this the more complicated it gets!

I think I will put up a new post!

Is that to do with ring-fenced profits?

Isn't everything?
