Agency- End client

It appears there have been some discussions on here but I am going to ask again (sorry).

First, is it possible for a UK based ltd company to work 3 weeks in the UK and 1 week in France for the same end user?

If so, what needs to be taken into consideration? What should the Ltd co owner do?

Also, can anyone recommend an accountancy provider who can provide payroll service for UK based contractors undertaking work in France.

Thanks for your time

If the end client/end user is a UK company it's normal to bill the UK company and the UK company should pay your expenses to France. Even if the UK company sent you to France every second week your employment is in the UK and the French would have no record of you working in France.

Uk tax residents can work in France for up to 183 days as a rule and still be subject to tax in the UK so any umbrella company or accountancy firm could help you
