Hi,
I'm self employed and have a contract with a company from Luxembourg. I work in Belgium for a Belgian client of them.
I've talked to the Luxembourg company that I want to use the 183 days rule to pay taxes in my home country. They created the contract but for a period of 8 months(160 working days) saying that the 183 days are working days and it is ok.
Next, I've signed a contract to rent an apartment here and the owner wants a 2 months deposit account in a Belgian bank. This was not possible since all banks require a document from the commune. I went to the commune and registered there just before their closing time. For the next week they're closed so I had to sign fast the papers and they were in a hurry too. On my way home I found out they changed my primary residence to Brussels. I knew this was going to create issues with using the 183 days because you must remain resident in your home country.
I already talked to the owner to leave the apartment and I'm going to deregister from the commune and move to a hotel. I hope this scheme would allow me to still follow the rules of the 183 days.
I don't know what to do to work legally because the contract is with my home country freelance company.
Please give me any advice on this or any information about a lawyer, accountant or umbrella company that could help.
Thank you so much!
