Hi, First post here after some searching and still being non the wiser.
Currently, I have a UK Limited Company, contracting via a UK Agency, to another UK Company, paid in GBP into my companies UK Bank. This contract requires me to spend a significant amount of time in Czechia. I recently took the decision to move to Germany and attempted to end the contract with the UK company, as I would no longer be able to work in their Czech plant.
However, they have agreed that I do not need to be physically on site in CZ and I am free to remote work at my home office in Germany, with 1 week per month based in CZ. (For now, I am ignoring any CZ tax implications as I am there for less than 183 days...)
My question is, can I continue to operate solely out of the UK even though I am remote working from my home office in Germany?
I would like to claim German residency (because brexit) and plan to stay there for several years. What I need help understanding is how do I go about paying German Tax liabilities, such that I may become permanent resident in Germany should I wish in 5-10 years? Can my UK company continue to operate as normal and I invoice it from Germany for 3 weeks per month 'German working' at any hourly rate? If this is possible I assume I would either have to be self-employed in Germany or create a German 'sister-company'.
I move to Germany next week and will ofcourse find an accountant that knows UK/DE systems inside out to help facilitate this, I am just searching for some knowledge before hand.
To add to the confusion, the CZ site has also offered me perm employment in CZ, whilst still being a remote worker.
TL/DR, I am looking for a tax efficient way of residing in Germany, working remotely for a UK company.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
