Hi Chef,
Still under contract in Berlin ? did you get an Accountant ?
I have been here contracting here for many moons and have been using Mr H. who is not bad.
I agree with the comment to take someone local which can be a big advantage and you don't have the hastle of posting recepits.
Local accounts also have a better releationship to the Revenue you will be paying.
To the theme of SocialInsurance, I opted to employ someone for over the €400 limit. So far so good though the contracting experience has not been with other problems from the Amts...
If you are still in the sector then all I can say is keep everything clean. They don't trust contractors since the 02 incident in 2007 and many collegues from the Islands have been having premature audits...
If you plan to stay longer then maybe opting to make a GbmH or the new small company (similar to Ltd.) may keep the dogs at bay. The only difference is that the self employed status is history BUT you have a pay a small company tax AND more accountancy fees.
Good luck !Comment
