Considering contracting for client in Belgium - IR35 and other considerations

[thecolour]

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if taking a EUR contract has any bearing on IR35 liability? Does off-payroll apply when end clients are not based in UK?

Secondly, if anyone has any advice on how to best take payment into a LTD company account in EUR without paying a hefty fee to convert to GBP, I'd be grateful.

Open a business multicurrency account with Transferwise for the best exchange rates and low fees
VAT should be deferred to the end client (as it was before)
IR35 liability is still a bit vague

Did you ask your accountant?

It really depends on who the contracting parties are, and where the actual work is being conducted?

I did and they don't have a clue

Did you look to find new accountants who do have a clue?

I did and they are looking things up for me now, I'm especially worried about VAT because the story seems to change a bit

you can't work in the EU after Brexit, we are outcasts and no UK person will ever work in the EU again. It must be true a remainer told me.

Seriously make sure your visa is correct as if there is a muck up it may affect future visas.

Starling Bank business account and set up a parallel EUR account which costs £2 per month.

Whenever I've done this , I've simply moved to the country.

Are you doing that?

If so, stay there for more than (I think its 185 days) and you're liable for taxes in the country of residence - and IR35 doesn't matter at all. (or you can choose to use a tax treaty, claim the tax back and then declare it in the UK and pay it here, but that would be silly imho, with the HMRC attitude towards contractors doing things outside of THEIR norm).

If you are not, I still think IR35 matters not , as you would not be a UK Full time employee paying UK taxes anyway, if you are employed by a non UK entity.

I am not an accountant.

Oh and you are posting in general, so I think I have to put something obscene in, you massive turd .
