Time on the bench
After 6 months I was chilling out and not worrying. Now I've been on the bench for almost a year, and it's starting to get more than a bit uncomfortable. It's not the cash, it's the gaping chasm on my CV.:tumble:- camfish

The sad thing
This is one of the milder statements uttered by the Left since she died. Some of the things that have been said make me ashamed to be British. Left wingers in Britain are showing how unpleasant they really are. -

Thatcher wins Scottish independence!
Some of your English neighbours and the rest of the world thought she was a great leader, which I suppose includes 'acceptable'. When you go, and take a few million Labour votes with you, your English neighbours won't miss you. 'Bye. -

Contract then permanent in Austria

What is the latest: Working in Germany 2012
Could you explain that? What has your house in the UK got to do with it? Or should I say, what difference does it make whether you intend to go back to it? I'm assuming you're paying German tax on rental income, but where does the extra 20k come from?- camfish

Thanks. Will check the contract carefully, if it gets that far. And re the cost of living - my extensive research (10 minutes with Google) suggests the cost of living is 50% higher than where I am now, but property costs 2.5 times as much. Ouch.- camfish

Overseas accommodation and commuting
I'm working as a sole trader in Europe, paying local taxes, and I'm about to fill in a UK tax return. I'm hoping to get back the UK taxes I paid during my first 6 months as I also had to pay local taxes for that period once I stayed longer than 6 months. Can I deduct accommodation and...- camfish
