Working remotely for a UK client from an EU country

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI think the question here is how the fee payer treats the payment from next April, based on the client’s status determination. The OP has limited control over this, beyond informing them that they have applied the law incorrectly. However, as a minimum, the fee payer must apply the proper tax code to a deemed payment. Ideally, they will be convinced that the contract is outside of the scope of IR35 and, thus, not make deemed payments at all. In that case, it will be properly taxed at source, outside the UK. If they don’t do that, there will be ErNI to fight over unless the client is paying more.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWhy would you expect to? I've contracted remotely several times and have always been paid in the currency of client/agency's country of operation. I.e., I've born the currency risk.
And if the agency is not used to, or incapable of paying in Euros, specifically due to currency fluctuation, then in this case, it will be the agency who will borne out the currency risk. Except that they won't. Obviously.
This is not about a contractor invoicing in and receiving Bolivars.Comment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIf he applies a tax code he will be operating through a UK registered business, and there begin the problems. He will be legally obliged to register a company where he is working remotely. Unfortunately you can't just ignore the obligations in the other country. Since it is a UK registered company he will be expected to pay tax in the UK even if he is non-resident. His country of residence will also expect to fully tax any income from working remotely. If they routinely enquire and find out he does all the work in that country he will probably get into trouble, as they would have expected him to register his business there.Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostIt isn’t him or his company that applies a tax code to a deemed payment for a private sector gig from April 2021, it is the fee payer. You seem to be missing that point(?) I am talking about post April 2021 where the deemed payment is made by the fee payer to some business overseas (assuming they won’t make payments to a self employed person).I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIf the payment is to a business overseas, then he will have no tax status in the UK, will have deregistered, and everything is above board.
The question, with just how above or below board it would be for him/her, was whether s/he would be considered Outside IR35 by a new world client - whereby currently, most clients will blanket decide Inside, irrespective of.... just about anything.Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostSure, that is the ideal situation, if the OP is non-resident. If the fee payer further accepts that position, it should be straightforward. What we’re discussing here is the possibility that they don’t accept that position post April 2021 and they instead insist on making deemed direct payments to the overseas business. In that situation, the OP can, as a minimum, have an NT code applied, but that is not ideal.
So basically I will be declared inside IR35 but I will have the NT code given to non-residents.
The question is, will I still be able to claim back some taxes from HMRC?Comment

Originally posted by skysies View PostWell, I think that's the situation I will be in. It seems likely that I will get the non-residency based on my circumstances. However, I think the client will declare all contractors inside IR35, including me.
