Non UK resident contract work UK
I have been a resident of Portugal since Jan 23 with no income generated in UK since Dec 22, no pension or rental income. I have been offered contract work in UK for a max 5months where I will be physically working in UK for UK company. Will I be required to pay tax (paye) in UK and declare income to Portugal under DT treaty or can I apply for NT tax code? I have no other ties in UK under tax residency rules. Is it better to set up UK company & pay myself a dividend? I want to make sure I am on the right side of tax rules both UK & Portugal and pay taxes where due. I am a UK citizen.
