Working for German company

I am about to start working for a German company. I will be going out to Germany to work for an initial two months before returning to the UK to work remotely. I am a UK citizen, have a house in the UK and my family will be remaining in the UK over the initial two month period. My question is with regards to income tax. Can I receive my income from my German employer as a gross amount and then I will submit a self assessment in the UK where that income will be taxed in the UK or do I have to pay German taxes on the income? If I can pay UK tax on the income can this start when I begin my employment in Germany {for two months} or can this only be when I am working remotely from the UK?

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi BayTax,
If your employer is happy to pay you gross then yes you would then declare all the income in the UK.
This can be from the actual start date.
Thank you.
