Kind of asked this in Business / Contracts but I guess it's more of a accountancy thing. I'm going to give SJD a call tomorrow to discuss it but thought I'd ask here first.
I'm going to be working for my current client whilst travelling after my current contract comes to an end. The hours are going to be ad hoc averaging about 20 hours a week as I get the time so I want an easy way to invoice based on a number of hours I've put in.
At the moment I'm still with Parasol and they have a web portal where you just login and fill in a timesheet. No paper involved. I want to know if any of the accountants offer something as simple, handling the invoicing and stuff so an internet connection is all I need?
The other issues are around when the contract comes to an end as I'll be in Australia by November with a valid 1 year work visa so could be doing this a few evenings a week as well as work over there (though I like to think I can avoid overstressing myself like that) but more likely I'll finish with it after a few months and then start working there.
One reason I'm reluctant to go Ltd is if it did come to an end early then the accountancy services in the UK that I'd have paid for a year would be nearly useless whereas Parasol only charges when I get payments.
What's the tax situation if I'm resident elsewhere while earning pounds for a UK company?
Anyone done anything remotely similar with advice? Is it worth setting up a Ltd at this stage?
