    Why can't you have Ltd in Ireland which will bill end client here and pay you as another local Ltd subcidiary for doing the services? That's how Google UK operates.

        “Search giant Google has been accused of avoiding UK tax by routing most of its earnings through Ireland. This means it saves about £100m a year by paying Irish corporation tax at 12.5 per cent rather than the 28 per cent it would face in the UK.

        British advertisers send their money to Google’s Irish subsidiary, an arrangement that has been described as unfair and unacceptable.

        This means that even though Google UK turned over £1.25bn in the UK it paid only £600,000 in UK corporation tax - 90 per cent of its earnings were channeled through Ireland.”

          UK should issue war bonds. Get the Middle East guys invest in a war with the Middle East. It makes perfect sense. In a New Labour way.

              Aside from one person only being able to be in one place at a time, I can see no flaws in that whatsoever.

                Why do you have to be in different places? Irish Ltd will bill (like it does for Google UK) and declare there profits pay low corporate tax and pay you dividends as owner of that Ltd who lives in the UK.

                Big companies certainly get away with it.

                  Little companies don't.

                    Indeed, and it's a bit tulipy to say the least.
