    Recommend a Management Co. for Overseas contracts

    Hi all,

    Can anyone recommend a good management company for those of us contracting on the continent? I've heard of
    Connexion, Albany and would be interested in hearing about people's experiences with these and others.

    Many thanks,
    Paul

    I'm with Albany. They ain't the cheapest but they are hassle free and provide a high net return.

    Also the guys at Itecs are a nice bunch but with smaller net returns.

    contact me off-board if you want more info.

    conor at mullan dot co dot uk.

    cheers

      Watch them!

      Yeah, ITECS get you around 70% return whilst I think others will get you more - not sure who the good guys are here though - any help anyone?

        Hello Folks,
        I have been thinking of working through Connexion or Albany while overseas. The system used involves an element being paid into a tax haven. Am I right to think this is less than fully legitimate ? Might anyone know of some reason or independent source which can somehow vouch for the legality of the methods used ?
        Or if the methods are just not legit, might anyone have a view on how safe they are ?
        Thanks!

          it all depends upon your residency. if you are resident [complex definition see IR] then basically you are liable to pay tax on your worldwide income. Naturally it's not that simple but that's it in a nutshell. So watch out! It doesnt matter how 'clever' you are you are liable to tax on it! There really are some stupid people out there taking some big risks in my experience.

          If you wish to talk more about this then you can always email me. i would be interested to hear what countries you are working in and might be able to help, if not immediately then in some time soon.

          -Ben

            net return at itecs

            i've found that it all depends on what country your going to... some of the management co's specialise in diff countries. a mate of mine who got 20-25% tax in belgium through Itecs where locals are paying around 55-60%. as long as you can prove ties to the UK

                    I was considering ITECS - would you care to elaborate on why specifically they have upset you?
