    EU tax resident in insIde IR35 contract

    Greetings, What do inside IR35 contracts mean to non UK tax residents? I have been living in Europe for several years and contracted through my own EU limited company (of which I am an employee and therefore pay all NI type taxes in the EU country where live).

    Has brexit negatively impacted anyone else in terms of gigs ?

    From my experience, 1350 is the ok day rate for longer term and 1550 is ok for shorter term assignments.

    Has brexit negatively impacted anyone else in terms of gigs ?

The company was not willing to be a sponsor for freelancer. Residing in EU, 60km across the border, and having...

    Question to freelancers in Germany

    I will be a German tax resident (can’t avoid the 183 days rule) and trying to decide whether to go as a freelancer or register a UG (an equivalent UK limited). I am inclined to go as a freelancer but concerned with my 2013/14 tax situation. I understand that as a freelancer I will have to...

    Working from Spain - good idea?

    I have been working from home for the past 3 years. As I work on international projects, there is a little need for me to be in the UK. As long as there is a fast internet connection and a good mobile phone reception, I am pretty much ok to work from anywhere in the world. Lately, we’ve been...

    Tax Protection Insurance: qDOS or PCG?

    Yes, I am aware of this. I am not sure if I will use any other benefits of PCG memebership though. This exercise is purely to cover my company and myself for any HMRC queries.
