Germany and IR35

[darmstadt]

Not that I dispute the advice, as I clearly don't but what on earth is the point of sites like flatmix.de? They even have an English version? Why do this if the barrier to entry is so high as to make it impossible/just not worth it?

BTW, the nearest airport, Paderborn, only flies to and from London City and Edinburgh so you're going to need to check out your travel as well, just saying like....

Careful with using your Ltd if even only for 3 months.

We have had a few posters giving us horror stories of police investigations because they used a Ltd for less then 6 months.

Take advice!

Bear in mind on a 3 month contract there will not be much tax to pay in Germany and that will be credited to your UK tax. We´ve had one or two posters that have indicated that it is contracts above 3 months is the threshold after which they chase you, but it is unclear, and a 1 or 2 month extension would see you in bother.

I would point out here that the admin for a 3 month contract at the tax office would be minimal, you probably will pay less tax than in the UK, though that would be topped up by HMRC and then you wouldn´t need to worry about an invitation to appear at a police station.
