multi jurisdiction contracts are complicated. You'll have to consider the legal obligations in each jurisdiction and often more than 1 applies i.e. the jurisdiction for VAT is determined by something different than personal tax etc. The biggest thing to do is review the contract. You could have liability to UK authorities or contractually via your contract - it's much harder for tax liabilities to be pursued across jurisdictions. I'd have it reviewed but make sure whoever reviews it has experience of multi jurisdictional contracts, it changes the approach significantly.

If it's a US client, the jurisdiction and governing law is probably a US state. You'll need special PI insurance (cheapest through Randel Dorling via IPSE membership in my experience, underwritten by Hiscox, but YMMV). IR35 needs to be considered but, if it's inside, you're doing something very wrong in these circumstances (short assignment with a US client). Would help to have a multi-currency business account with Transferwise or similar (highly recommend Transferwise), otherwise you're paying a bank margin of 2% or more on fx.

Also check your insurances (if required) - they might only cover UK clients.

Yes to LTD.
Paid in Euros is fine.
IR35 is still there, but for you to assess yourself. Just like for any private client.
You should probably worry more about what the contract contains and what jurisdiction(s) apply.
Get the contract reviewed by a professional if in any doubt.
If EU jurisdiction then you're fine, until, January anyway.

Working for a Customer in the EU - paid in Euros
Hi All
This has probably been covered elsewhere but I can't put my hand to it. I have an opportunity to work remotely (at least for now) for a US client but the projects will be in the E.U. It would be an initial 6 or 12 week assignment.
Any advice on how this works re Ltd Company/IR35/ - i.e. I assume the best way to do this is still through ltd company? Does IR35 apply?
Hints and tips etc?
Thanks in advanceTags: None
