Dear All,
I am new to this forum and would like to get some advice on the prospective contract in France.
I have been recently contacted by an agent about the prospect to work on the contract in France. The contract itself looks very interesting and attractive but I am not clear about the cross-border tax arrangements and possible complications with Brexit and IR35.
The contract would involve working partially from home and partially from the Client’s office in Paris. The recruitment agent suggested that as long as I don’t work in France more than 183 days a year (which will be the case) I would not be subject to French tax. Is that correct?
The agent further suggested that because the client is out of UK the contract is by default out of IR35, is that right or are there any other conditions?
Finally, is any of the above going to be somehow impacted by Brexit (the contract is expected to run for 18 – 24 months)? I have dual UK and EU nationality so I shouldn’t have issues with working visas if but is there anything else to consider.
Clearly, I will discuss all the above with the accountant before (if) I actually sign the contract but I would appreciate any views and comments – what do I need to ask accountant about (I have to find one first).
