IT-Careernet (ITC)
has entered
into a strategic cooperation agreement with
Global K Ltd.
to offer
contractors expert
international tax advice and solutions.
Global K aims to provide a tax efficient, compliant and streamlined
administration service to the freelance professional considering taking up
short to medium term freelance work across the European Community, into
eastern Europe and even in Australia.
We will advise
you
on the best structure to work
under and the tax implications of undertaking an engagement in the foreign
country, and will handle all compliance, contractual arrangements and
administration while you are
in the foreign country.
Individuals undertaking freelance work in a foreign location
Historically,
large numbers of contractors have worked in various locations around Europe
paying little or no attention to the many factors which have to be
considered with regard to tax, social security and employment law
compliance.
Global K
offers the international freelance contractor considering
working overseas a dedicated, professional and personalised service.
Global K
will work with the contractor in attempting to achieve the
optimum solution, which will provide a combination of a satisfactory "bottom
line" for the contractor and compliance with local legal requirements.
Employment of
non-UK nationals undertaking contract work in the UK
For non-UK nationals thinking of
taking up contract work in the UK, we can provide an employment vehicle
which will allow the contractor to be fully registered in the UK tax system,
taking advantage of the UK (generally) lower rates of direct taxation and
national insurance (social security). We can also offer, in certain
circumstances, a generous expenses package unrestricted by the confines of
the UK’s notorious IR35 legislation.
For non-EC
national, we can assist them to work in the UK by sponsoring their work
permit application and acting as their employer throughout their time in the
UK. In order for this service to be available, certain contractual
conditions must exist, see our section on work permits for non-EC citizens.
