    Moving company abroad?

    I work for a British agency now, but I'm outsourced for a German project that is partially remote and I'm going to be based mostly in Poland.
    Not sure how long will be the contract, but it made me think if I should move the company to Poland?
    Maybe, in this case, I could also move my company to tax heaven like HK or Belize? Any experience with that?
    My accountant has no much clue about international law.

      Or I can introduce you to a tax favourable structure quasi domiciled in the Dutch Antilles.

        I think that this advice is best reserved for General, OG..

            If that's where you'll be living long-term, and you have around €25,000 to spare for the share capital required to set up a new limited company in Poland. You'll also need a Polish accountant as the tax authorities refuse to communicate in anything but Polish, and they require quick turnaround.

            Or, you might instead register your UK company as a foreign branch in Poland. It won't provide you any particular benefits, but at least you'll be compliant. You'll still need a Polish accountant though, and separate bookkeeping for the Polish branch.

            Only if you enjoy getting into a big heap of trouble, unless you can show that you is normally resident there. Keep your company within the EU for work in the EU.
