    Accountant Recommendation - working overseas

    Can anyone recommend an accountant/accounting firm who they have used when contracting abroad (within the EU)?

    The client is in France, but my contract is with a Dutch company based in the Netherlands.

    So my invoices will go to the Netherlands and they will be the ones paying me.

    It's a short contract (a month, maybe a bit longer).

    Bearing in mind each country has a different set of rules and agreements do you not think it would be prudent to actually ask for an accountant with experience in certain countries?

      It does rather depend on the actual country! Which one(s) do you mean?

          If you're dealing with the Netherlands then you're likely better off going through a local Umbrella as the tax laws are draconian there as far as I know and they simply tax everyone as PAYE regardless of how you're trading. My suggestion would be to find a Dutch accountant and discuss with them first to ensure you're OK on that side of things, and then find a UK accountant if necessary. Your client or agent should be able to recommend someone.
