and don't forget, if you are coming to Belgium for even a short period, you or the agent will have to make a limosa declaration (new rules)
see http://www.limosa.be/
I suspect the authorities will be a bit lax at first, but I know of 1 agency that insists on all foreign contractors having a limosa certificate

Walk away! Seriously.
From experience the accountants etc. certain agencies suggest are at best hopeless and at worst up to something...
For example in Denmark they had one guy I know paying 40% more tax than he needed to! And I was nodded a wink via a contact in the tax office saying they never saw the money...

Originally posted by oraclesmithQ: What do we provide to contractors with a Payroll solution?
A: When we provide with a payroll solution, a contractor will become an employee and we will provide him/her with a local salary. We will deduct all relevant tax and social security at source. He/she will receive a monthly pay slip detailing your salary.
Q: As an employee, how much and where must the contractor be paid?
A: We will pay a salary in line with the work level the contractor is performing in the country he/she is working. We will always provide the contractor with proof of earnings (pay slip) for compliance reasons to satisfy the agency and relevant tax authorities.
Employee !!!!!!!!!

These are not standard brolly operations but are geared up to provide a viable way to freelance in Belgium, Lux and (sometimes) France (but not Holland!)
This method is discussed on the PCG overseas guides I think.
The agency prob have a deal with this particular management co (there are quite a few based in Lux) and that might p1ss me off a bit, but the margin charged is not unusual.
Edit - BTW people do use UK Ltd Co here but there is a risk of being deemed to be operating from here and that will hurt!Last edited by Rantor; 6 July 2007, 16:10.

You may well have a UK limited, but they don't care. The solutions from their website looks like standard brolly to me.

Talk to Connexion and look at your net position (hint!) before arguing the toss.
BTW - Would it be as an 'employeee' or a local-registered independent.
