I like your thinking

Oh, and did you know champagne has the least calories?

Steaks, Sausages, Burgers, Kebabs, Ribs. I think theres a lettuce leaf at the bottom of the coolbox if anyone wants salad.

Marvellous - I'll have that 21oz rump steak please, I'll butter a loaf and have it as a huge sandwich. Any ketchup?

Found this bright-green frog in the garden for you Zippy.

Lovely. Just a leg or two for me though. Am a bit sleepy ...

Done - it's a very small frog and cooked quickly.

Feel a bit spaced out after trying some of it. I think I'm hallucinating. Nice bunny ears you have there.

Employed solution you can expect 55-60%. Much better to register as a freelancer over there - expect 10% increase.

Yes you can take home 75-80% of your take home until the Finanzamt catches up with you, and then you're for the high jump, we're talking not tax avoidance, but tax evasion.

The take home for a bonafide solution is more like 65% perhaps a bit more for an optimal solution with expenses. Make sure everything is declared in Germany no offshore rubbish, or split income.

The most effective tax solution is to setup in Germany as a Freiberufler, but I can imagine as an employee paying British NI it aint too bad. You can do that for two years I believe. After that the German Sozialversicherung and health insurance is horrendously expensive.

Thanks very much for the info...

At the moment...my Payroll management company (PMC) is paying me 60% (that includes expenses)...is that fair???

I pay my NI as well as employer NI (but i guess thats normal).

pls let me know if thats ok...or else i might look for another PMC when its contract extension time....
