    Moving to the EU

    From the first hit on google: "IR35 does not apply in circumstances where there would be no ordinary liability to PAYE, i.e. where the worker is non-resident and the work is performed outside the UK. " https://www.kingsbridge.co.uk/blog/c...-andy-answers/ And here's another one, from the...

    Moving to the EU

    +1 to bluenose (at least at the high level, as I can't say I've researched into the details of visa and personal tax rules Spain and Portugal). It's also worth realising that you don't necessarily need to incorporate your business in the same country you live in. So you can continue to work...

    Perm vs FTC

    Certainty: All of them have been outside, up to and including today's. It's got to the point where I've started to work with more than one client at a time on a fractional basis.

    Perm vs FTC

    OP here: Thought you might want to know how it went in the end. Negotiated 6 month FTC with full permie benefits, didn't enjoy it (way too much red tape, as the parent wouldn't let the new business spend anything without parent exec-level sign off), so I didn't renew (which made some people...

    Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

    Is there any consensus on whether this situation may pose a problem for those who have used CK or Boox and then closed down their company successfully? In my case, I've since moved and so I doubt I'd find out about the letters until it was too late.

    HMRC VAT Enquiry

    Iron clad (this thought occurred to me too).

    HMRC VAT Enquiry

    Had a call from HMRC (I know, I thought it was a scam too - but I've checked and to my surprise it was genuine) asking about the 'nature of my business' as my last VAT return shows they owe me a few hundred quid (when I was previously paying them every quarter - thanks COVID). I refused to...

    EU Professional Indemnity Insurance?

    Or a UK virtual office for pesky UK postal matters?

    Perm vs FTC

    Had an interesting chat with an old client last week and I'm beginning to second guess myself - was hoping for your thoughts as I still have time to decide. An old client (large multinational I've had a handful of great previous engagements with) approached me, they're starting up a new...

    Working remotely from the UK for German company/agency. Where do I pay tax ?

    So starting a UK Ltd and then living and working from a home in a foreign country with a low cost of living and low tax rate, might lead to some very favourable profits?

    TOGAF course provider recommendation

    Now that the situation has changed so drastically since this thread was last discussed in March (I suspect there's been a lot of changes to the training available online since) - anyone got any fresh recommendations? I'm currently doing a TOGAF course on udemy and while it's cheap, pre-recorded...

    Short term 'fibre' broadband?

    I was wondering if anyone could suggest any ISPs offering a good deal on fibre to the cabinet (or faster) short term (e.g. 6 month) broadband contracts (and/or a longer contract with good cancellation terms rather than a massive fee) . Last time I looked the only reasonable deal around was for...

    Coop Business Account - Internet banking

    Utter carp, I have to call them to do nearly anything, bank feeds keeping breaking on FA, took months to set me up in the first place. Just dire. A real reminder of why investment in IT is important. Ask me how I know (yeah, I got paid to move to them too - now I think I'd pay to move away...)

    Client wants to take me for dinner (evening)

    Yes, that's exactly what happened - the replies have made that quite clear - thanks all.

    Offered a 1 year extension...

    That's exactly it (apart from the "I'm very good bit" - I don't say that out loud ;)).
