I am moving to the Netherlands in the summer as my military spouse has been posted to NATO. I am currently working as an MoD civil servant in Scotland. I have been offered the opportunity to continue in the same role for up to 6 months, working remotely, with occasional short visits to my duty station in Scotland. Will my tax status as a UK tax payer remain unchanged if I take up this offer? And if so, do I need to contact the Dutch tax authorities? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Aurelia28,
If you are a crown servant, you pay Income Tax and National Insurance in the UK on income from your job for the crown, as if you live in the UK.  Please have a look at:
Tax for crown servants, EU employees and volunteer workers abroad
Thank you.

Hello, I have a very similar question. I am moving to the Netherlands in the summer as my military spouse has been posted to NATO. However, I work for a UK company. I work entirely from home, for just 6 months of the year. Am I able to keep my job, and pay UK taxes? There is no clear guidance from the Army Familes Federation. Thank you in advance.

Hi Louisa236,
You are able to keep your job, you will no longer be taxable on it in the UK, as you will be tax resident in the Netherlands, under that tax treaty that exists
between the two countries (Tax treaties).  
Please submit a P85 to HMRC by sending a completed online form at Get your Income Tax right if you're leaving the UK (P85).  
You will need to report this 'foreign' employment income to the Dutch tax authorities.
Thank you.
