Hi HMRC, I'm a freelancer (UK resident and UK taxpayer), working on a project in Germany. The company have asked me to invoice for a higher amount than I will receive, as "The cash register will then deduct taxes from the gross fee because of the double taxation agreement between Germany and Great Britain" So they are saying that my invoices will be for a higher amount than they will transfer into my bank account, and I will be getting taxed in Germany and then the UK? Is that correct? I thought as I was a UK taxpayer I wouldn't be paying tax twice on this amount? I would prefer that the amount I invoice is the same as the amount I receive into my bank, for my own records. Can you offer any advice on this? Many thanks.
