I have secured another role, another name change coming soon!

I’m am, for now, just plain Sue B, but still happy to help, if I can, for...

Hi Nick

Could you perhaps give me a call this afternoon, as there is quite a lot to discuss. IR35 being one thing, plus offshore intermediaries, dutch payroll vs BV etc.

My direct line is 0151...

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to read all this thread yet but didn't want to appear rude by not posting, I'm sorry I missed this originally.

If you are still looking at this query then please feel...

We don't do much in Germany these days, but always happy to have a chat about the hows and whys of compliance.

Thanks

Yes :happy Please feel free to get in touch.

Hi Dunc1n,

Firstly, if you are going to use your own Ltd in Norway you will have to register it there, and deal with Norwegian reporting for CT, IT, NIC and dividends etc. Failure to do this...

Just a quick note to basically agree with what has already been said.

We have a number of contractors who work both in the UK and overseas however they always have two contracts.

If this is...

Sorry only just seen this :emb

Happy to have a chat with you to discuss your situation, 0151 443 6830.

It should be quite straightforward to establish ordinary resident / tax resident status,...

Happy to have a chat with you if it would be helpful.

Few things to think about.

Firstly, jamesbrown is correct the 183 day rule does not apply when you are on an assignment in Sweden where the...

Hi Stelios,

If you are going to be self employed, then the A1 form is correct.

However, if you are going to have a Ltd Company in Greece then you wont be able to apply for a UK A1...

Hi,

The 183 day rule is not confined to number of days, there are other criteria to meet before the rule can be deemed to apply, including who the economic employer is (who ultimately pays for,...

Hi there,

It is possible to work overseas via an umbrella company, providing that umbrella company has the appropriate registrations in the country where the work takes place.

There is s sticky...

Hi there,

I would be happy to assist on a more technical level if you want to get in touch, however, the general advice for working in Norway is local tax (yes, unfortunately, on all your income,...

What m0n1k3r says about Ltd Co, plus, please read the brief guide to working in Europe which is a sticky above, and if you then want any further information please do drop me a PM.

Well sometimes appeals do work, however, there needs to be a really compelling reason for them to change their mind, and i would have thought the rejection for you came because of the lack of trading...

Hi Neptune,

The A1 is a posted worker certificate, so the eligibility criteria is based both on you as the employee and on the company.

Whilst there are quite a few reasons why it may be...

I think so too, but we will see what we can do to help :smile

Gardeners! yey!

I have only recently discovered a passion for gardening, in the last two years or so, and especially for growing my own veg, but now i cant stop, it makes me so happy!:happy

Hello again,

You aren't having much fun with this are you? I do sympathise, Germany is the most complex country to contract in and arranging a contract chain which is fully compliant with German...

hey look at that.... a review system for umbrella companies........:yay:

Very relevant.

Especially when considering not just the service provided by the agency but indeed the actual solution they are recommending.

Under the Criminal Finance Act 2017, specifically,...

You're welcome.

I don't think it will make any difference, no. The double taxation agreement in force, article 5, defines "permanent establishment" as follows

Hi Eirikur,

This is a slightly more complicated situation that has previously been discussed, although one i am familiar with. Please note however that the following really is generic advice and...

Hello Whiterabbit,


Economic employer - Yes this is a key point.

We use economic employer when looking at personal tax liabilities and the 183 day rule. Workers become taxable in Germany...

Hi Curiousman,

If you would like to contact me via PM or email sue@i-paye.com I would be happy to provide some specific information based on your circumstances. For the time being I'll keep it...

I wasn't going to bother replying, since Boo has been banned, but think I will since there seems to have been some confusion.

Sue Ellen does not have any business interests with I-PAYE...... I...

It has a place of management if there is a senior executive or manager (almost certainly the only one in the company) is working in Belgium.

And therein lies the challenge, as your PSC will be deemed to have a permanent establishment in Belgium under "a place of management". and therefore you fail that part of the test and your income is...

You still have a place of management in Ireland. :ohwell

Indeed there is Moniker, and its important for contractors to remember that these will always be treated differently within the DTA. Business profits may be taxed in Ireland (as much as is...

Well, its not really written from the point of few of removing a tax liability. Its a Statement of Practice, relating to the scope for applying PAYE, it doesn't change the OECD model of Double...

Did you read the whole document Rover and Out? Because i have just skimmed it and a few things jump out.


taken directly from this document

"4.1.2 The Irish PAYE System
It should be clearly...

There are times of course when you can work for a client and not incur taxation in the local country. It is important to understand the difference between a business trip and an assignment. A...

TCP and NLDUK - absolutely this.

Technically, there is no 183 day "rule", its is part of the DTA article relating to income from employment and comprises 3 tests, all of which have to be satisfied...

I can use my UK Personal Service Company when working overseas.

Whilst it is possible, in most European Countries it is inadvisable, as the use of a UK Personal Service Company does not offer the...

Just don't risk it. Nothing about this sounds right and its likely that the Irish Authorities will have an issue with it. Profits/Income that was derived by an Irish Limited Company by its employee...

Thanks, will put something together as I have time, and send it to you.

Hi,

I-PAYE Accountancy uses Freeagent, and we are based in Knowsley. Happy to have a chat to see if we are a good match for you.


Thanks

There are circumstances when the 183 day rule could be deemed to apply, but really for PSC's its only for business trips. Understanding business trips vs assignments is important.

The length of...

Thanks Eek.

I would be happy to put together an FAQ, it doesn't have to be country specific as all EU countries are the same from a tax law point of view. Would the Mods be ok with this?

Just make sure you do all this properly with a French Accountant. You definitely don't want to get any of this wrong. If you do not have a French accountant, send me a direct message and I will...

Hi again,

Well now, that question is one for a French Accountant, I am not familiar with the VAT there. I would have thought that if the UK Agency has a French branch and it is all done through...

Sorry just further to this, no, because a french freelancer would not have an employer and therefore not have a valid A1, so it would be french tax and french social security.

The model you propose is actually a circular reference that is difficult to resolve and i can only go into so much detail here without knowing all of the circumstances.

As you describe, it is...

As Stek said, it is difficult for a Limited company to obtain an A1 Certificate, although not impossible. The company itself would be deemed to have a permanent establishment in France, unless it...
