  • RE: Working remotely for EU company in uk

    Hi, My husband is working in the UK on the basis of a Skilled Worker Visa and I moved with him as a „Dependant“, allowed to work in the UK. We are both German citizens but UK residents. So far, I was on maternity leave with my German company without any income. Now, my maternity leave comes to an end and I would like to start working for my German employer from the UK. I understand from the above that this is doable and I would need to clarify with German tax office regarding double taxation plus would need to self declare taxes at the end of the year. What I still don’t really understand is how a) social insurance and b) health insurance would work and if there is anything else to be considered for me. My employer does actually have a branch in the UK but I would keep working and being employed for the German GmbH. Does that make any difference on the PAYE and NIC topic described above? What happens of they would jot register specifically for me? Does that have any legal consequences? Thanks so much for your feedback upfront and best regards Sarah
