    Contracting in Munich

    Accepted a long term contract out in Munich on a rate of 1080 EUR per day plus 2000 EUR a month accommodation allowance plus flights.

    Initially, I was intending contracting via my UK limited company for the first 6 months before considering setting up a company in Germany. But, maybe better off setting up Germany company from the start, opening up a bank account etc so i can buy goods, pay rent etc in EUR without the fee's!

    Also, maybe i benefit from being VAT registered in Germany (Similar to Flat rate here in UK)

    Maybe people here have experience using a partner company/Agency?

    My family and home will be located in the UK and intend commuting home every weekend.

    I'm aware of the 182 day and world tax rule, but not sure if I get caught with additional tax working out of Germany or if I set up in Germany am I liable for tax in the uk being uk resident etc.

    Anyone recommend any German Accountants?

    Appreciate any advice on this?

      I make it 2 above, not 3. Really, you must be more precise, otherwise OP clearly won't spot it.

      You need to up your game NLUK.

            What are you, the forum police? What does it matter to you whether he's read a sticky or carried out a full and thorough search beforehand?

                  It's generally considered to be good forum etiquette to at least get off one's 'arris and do at least some cursory digging before posting a lazy question (of which this is a prime example).

                  Especially as there is a whole sticky on this very topic in a very prominent place as previously mentioned.

                  No need to get so upset about it.

                    Plus the OP is a sockie most likely, no way anyone on 1080€ a day would write so poorly.
