I've been doing this for years. Like blacjac I've had no problems at all.

Did it for 4 months a couple of years ago. Had no problems at all, just remember not to charge VAT if you are registered.

Contract with USA but working in UK

Hi, *first post* I tried to search on this but couldn't find anything...

I have accepted a contracting role with a company in the USA but I will be working from the UK. I will be paid from the states in USD.

I just wondered if anyone else had done something similar and whether there were any extra legal or tax implications to consider.

I spoke to an accountant and she said the dollars would be treated as GBP from an accounting point of view, once the cheque had been converted.

Anyone in a similar position?

thanks
