Context: With permission from my employer, I've moved / started to work remotely from EU (Romania). From my understanding, it is perfectly fine (as in you don't need to do anything) if you stay up to 6 months. From what I gathered, after those 6 months, you are considered a resident to that country (in this case - Romania) and need to start paying taxes there. What is unclear to me is that UK and Romania have a so-called "Double Taxation" treaty. To note: - I have a UK NI / bank account / citizenship (I've lived in UK for 8 years) - I don't have a EU-RO bank account - I have RO citizenship as well My question is: 1. After those 6 months, do I need to pay all of my taxes in both UK and Romania? 2. If not, can I decide to which country can I pay my contributions (I would like to continue with paying my taxes in UK)? 3. Do I need to make special arrangements after those 6 months? Thank You!

I am an EU citizen. I do not have any UK work visa or any other UK legal status. Is it possible to be hired by a UK based company and work for them remotely from my EU country? Is there a legal step that I can take in order to make the aforementioned scenario possible?

Hi, I am an EU national living and working in the UK over 15 years. I am currently a UK tax resident who has also been granted Indefinite Leave in the United Kingdom. I am working for a UK based company, and I am discussing with my employer the opportunity for me to work remotely from my country (EU) keeping me enrolled on UK PAYE payroll and National Insurance contributions. Therefore, I may find myself being outside the UK for more than 183 days or more in a tax year. Please can you advise what my employer and I should do to ensure we are compliant with employment laws and regulations??? Many Thanks.
