I was out of the UK, contracting in Germany from Sept 06 until Aug 07.
From April 06 until Sept I was contracrting in West london, and now I am back contracting in the UK again.
What is the best option for me in terms of paying tax, should I pay UK tax for my time in Germany, or would I be better off paying German tax and and extra tax as may be deemed apopropriate by HMRC?
I have been in cont5act with accountant in Germany who wants expense receipts for teh job I had in West London, that is insane, I had to send them to my previous umbrella company! D'oh!
I'm getting rather worried as I know someone who worked in Switzerland who ended up getting taxed twice and they now have a 9k tax bill they can't pay (although he was perm and not a contractor). Any advice would be MUCH appreciated.
