Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostI work in US for a while, but invoiced from Europe and took cash out from ATM. Not sure if it would be worth getting involved in US tax system.

Not sure what you mean by "US client" in this context. Unless you're a US citizen or GC holder, you'd need an employment visa and, hence, you'd be their employee.Comment

I did it for around 7 years but was based here in my home office although there was travel all over EMEA and some USA. I had a flat rate per month and then hours on top and all expenses, and I mean everything, was invoiced to them each month. I used to invoice them in Euros, Dollars, GBP, Shekels, in fact whatever currency that I incurred my expenses in. If you can do that then you're laughing and it looks like I'll be doing it again soon....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
