Work in UK, live in Europe

[NotAllThere]

Bee - the problem is with your English. You said:

Working in UK with a local rate and live in Portugal, for a Portuguese it's great, we live like kings.

"Working in UK" means you are physically located in the UK. If that's the case, you must pay tax in the UK. Otherwise, as pointed out, it's tax evasion.

Then you say.

The work is done from home in Portugal for UK.

So you are not working in the UK.

Do you understand how the confusion arises? Those little words are very important.

Whichever you choose, I would recommend holidaying there several times in different seasons, then renting there for a few months (short term rentals so you can try different areas) before buying a place for cash. You may find that you buy outright, later decide you don't like the place that much and then find that you cannot sell!

Migrating to a foreign country is not easy. Gets harder the older you are. For example, fast forward thirty years- can you see yourself in a French old peoples home?

If you don't want to live with British expats you face the immense challenge of fully integrating with the locals - don't underestimate how hard that is once you are over 18.

I'd be basing my decision on where to live on my current knowledge.

I'm at a juncture in my life where I need to just get on with it really so don't have time to suck it and see.

As for my age, so long as I'm not too old and crinkly I'm sure I'll soon hook up with a member of the opposite camp and become a part of his extended family.

It's always worked before

Thanks Nat.

I used the title of the thread "Working in UK, living in Europe" which I clarified later... anyway I think there is also cretinism in the last posts, and sometimes I have difficult to understand sarcasm sentences in English.

I assumed that everybody on here has to pay taxes in the country they will going to live.

Is your sole purpose to hijack and wreck other people's threads?

No people have to pay taxes in the countries they are required to be paid.

That may be where you live, The country you are resident for tax ,the country the service is supplied from or invoice passes through. Ask your accountant.

So true.

[vetran]

So true.

if only we could put them on ignore lists

[northernladuk]

I'd rather cretinism over posts that then take the thread of topic just to correct the English so even makes sense... again.
