Contracting to a Romanian Company

[Mark Jenkin]

Hi All,

Nice to e-meet you all. I have a question for you all, I am just negotiating a contracting position for a Romanian Company, we have a retention rate and bonuses, that bit is fine, I will file my return by 31st January 2019. As a self employed contractor and not a limited company am I right in saying there is no need for the company to withhold 12.5% as they would under IR35 if I were a limited company?

Sorry if this is a dumb question I have never contracted before and it's only for 5 months.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Hi Mark,
Welcome to Contractor UK!

I've moved your thread to the Business/Contracts section, hopefully you'll get better responses here.

If its only for 5 months why not use an umbrella?

Claiming self employment could get you to end up in a whole heap of trouble.

Self employment

Is that the same even if by 31st January 2019 everything is declared and paid for PAYE through self assessment.
