        Even it does happen, it won't hurt the UK residents' job opportunity and market rate.

              Sorry for the confusion that I have caused in the statement of "live outside the UK, want a UK registered company and want to work outside the UK through a UK agency"

              You might ask why "dragon" wanted to do thing in such as way...???

              The answer is I not able to move from my country and live in UK that's my disadvantage.

              Thanks

                You want to try people per hour or something like that offering small pieces of work. There is no way you are going to get a contract and you had very straight feedback from ask the agent. The only thing is you don't like it so are looking for some more answers that you like. There aren't any. That is the way we it s so you need to think of something else.

                You are not really going to get much help from a UK contractor forum when you want to take a piece of work of shore and do it for peanuts either.

                  So presumably you don't intend to pay tax in the UK either? May I ask why you cannot work in your country of residence?

                    A worker lives in a country with a low cost of living (or low tax) and does work for a client based in a country with a high cost of living. The worker gets paid a fee which would be considered relatively low in the client's country but relatively high in the worker's country.

                    The client and worker get the best of both worlds and everyone's a winner except people like me who got made redundant when their job was offshored.
