Hello,
I have searched through the forum but I cannot find the specific information I need so I am hoping someone here can advise me.
I have been contracting in Germany (registered as a freelancer with the German tax authorities) for almost 2 years through a UK agency via an umbrella company using German accountants associated with the umbrella company.
Basically, I am not happy with the service provided by the umbrella company and the fees that they charge.
It is my intention to use a German accountant directly and for me to bill the UK Agency myself and get rid of the umbrella company altogether.
However, my UK Agency says that it will only deal with a Limited Company. I have a UK Limited Company, but is it legal to get funds paid to the UK Limited Company bank account and pay only German taxes? Is there another way I can work this?
I hope someone who works in a similar manner or who has had expeinece in thsi area will be able to offer me advise.
Thanks in advance,
Schaefer.
