Hi,
I know this has probably been asked 1000 times before.
I have been living in Germany since 01/11/2020. I am registered resident with health insurance.
My UK employer has engaged with a international tax company and have a applied to pay my taxes via the German payroll (they have advised me as I am just a single employee, with them having no fixed address in Germany this is likely to be allowed and I will have to pay my taxes myself).
If this does not workout they will pay my social contributions on my behalf but I will need to pay my own income tax. I am not 100% sure how I would do this so I will likely contact a tax account to make sure but if anyone has any pointers that would be helpful.
From what I understand no one really knows what's happening at the end of the brexit transition period and if I am still technically employed by a UK company then I won't be able to leverage this for residence visa, is this correct (it kind of makes sense, why do I need a visa to work for a UK company)?
I am engaged to a German citizen but. It yet married so I don't know how that would affect my visa situation. I assume, I till we are married it doesn't make a difference?
I was also wondering if I could get some clarification on the double tax agreement. My understanding is you pay your tax in the country you are resident in (over 183 days) so in my case as I am planning to stay permanently this would be Germany, is this correct?
I will be seeking professional advice on the matter but I just wanted to get an idea of I am on the right track.
If anyone could shine a light on their this with their experience, I would appreciate it.
