Thanks again darmstadt, I just spoke to my Steuerberater in Germany and he confirmed what you said. I told him about that tax rule and he agreed that's what should go on the invoices, and I should be registered as a system programmer. He said there's a few rules I have to meet in addition to...- d4005

Billing a US company
I've been emailing with my old Steuerberater (from when I was contracting in Germany for a German company) and he said normally I should charge VAT, but there are some possibilities to avoid it and wants to discuss it. He wants to hear how I plan to work, and what I'll be doing, to see if I...- d4005

This changes everything for me. My girlfriend lives in Germany and while I've been working in the states it's been tough. She visits me as often as possible stateside and I visit Germany as often as I can too (which is where I am for the rest of this week). I hadn't expected the tax situation to...- d4005

How much as a total percentage of gross would you say you have to pay in taxes in Germany? I hear it can go up to 50%.- d4005

Too many response to quote individually, but thanks for the advice guys. It looks like I won't register for VAT because (a) my income is likely to be less than 61k GBP unless the exchange rate goes in my favour, and even then I have the option to hold back a few invoices at the end of the year...- d4005

Nice tip, I'm also currently banking with BOA. Their email notifications are great, but the lack of bank transfer does suck big time. I guess I'm going to have to open a UK business account again (I was with Barclays last time) and I'll definitely look at HSBC knowing I can utilize their...- d4005

Oh wow, the VAT threshold increased to 61k. Last time I contracted in the UK I think it was around 35k. I never imagined it would have increased that much. I can easily stay below that, even if it means not issuing the last few invoices of the year. I don't expect the contract to last a full 2...- d4005

Hi, I'm currently working as a permanent employee in the states but at the end of this year my H1-B Visa runs out so I have to come back to the UK. My employer is happy enough for me to continue working for them remotely in the UK but it'll have to be as a contractor. I haven't done anything...- d4005
