Contract in Luxembourg

[Northernercontractor]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice regarding contracting in Luxembourg - I have already did a search but left feeling more confused due to differing opinions.

My contract will be 6 months only in Luxembourg and I will be travelling back home to London each Friday and returning on the Monday. It's £550 a day and I have a limited company set up in the UK. Will I be tax resident in Luxembourg even though I will return home each Friday? How will I be taxed and could there be complications? Does the 183 day rule apply to contractors? Is it best to stay in air b and b/hotel or a studio flat to be able to claim expenses?

Thanks

Book only a few weeks in advance rather than tying yourself to a six month rent. If the gig turns to poo after a month, you're stuck with a five-month commitment that you may struggle to wriggle out of.

You will be fine. It is not like swiss where you are put a wireless tracker on your neck as soon as you cross the border.

Never been, don't know. I do a lot of work in London and use Trivago as my first port of call for booking accommodation.

There is no such thing as the 183 day rule and based on above you'll be taxed in LX and U.K., paying the higher of the two subject to DTA.

Exactly. As I found out too, this rule won't apply in most cases, especially if you are working through your LTD.

1. You will be tax resident in Luxembourg AND the UK.
2. There is no such thing as the 183 day rule.
3. Use accommodation that you can book week by week.

Well, there IS such a rule. However it doesn't apply in the context of LTDs. It's for companies sending their employees abroad on short assignments. Anyway, the rule is irrelevant in this case.
