Adding more context as I think I wasn’t clear in my original question: I would be resigning from my current full time role in the UK company. I would open a personal company in my new country. I would then sell remote consultancy services to the UK company - do NOT expect to be full time employed in any UK company. I am not a UK citizen, but I am a citizen of the new country.

Also, would I be classed as “still employed” by my employer if I’m on a consultant contract?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I am not a UK citizen - currently hold settled status. Is your answer still valid? I don’t understand how I would still need to pay Class 1 NIC?

Hi, I will be moving abroad and would like to keep my job in a UK company. I'm currently full time employed but can change to a consultant contract. I am planning on opening a personal company in my country of residence to offer my freelance consultant services, to pay all required income tax, equivalent NI contributions, and all relevant taxes to be paid by me on the country. My question is: 1 - would my employer in the UK be liable to pay any tax? Income tax to me as an employee, or corporate tax of some kind? 2 - would there be any obvious issues with sending money abroad for a UK company? 3 - do they need to pay VAT in the UK as a reverse charge or do I pay for it in my country of residence?
