Hey all,
Ive had a look through the forum and cant see any question like mine.
Currently I live in Stavanger and have even bought a house here. I work Off-Shore for a large Service Company and my Wife works full time too. Our Kids now go to a Norwegian School as my Company will no longer pay the school fee's as Im now classed as a local employee with a local contract. The International School fee's are about 16,000nok a month so paying that although not out of the question would be a large drain on the spare funds each month. Also, we find that the quality of the Schooling is abysmal compared to the International Standards and that of where we come from in Scotland. Ie, 9 and 11 year old singing nursery level songs in Class almost daily.
Anyway, as I make an ok salary of around 1,000,000 each year and as I work 4 weeks off-shore and 4 weeks at home I could do this from the UK and commute to work each month. My Employer will pay for the flights anyway. We miss the Uk but I love working in Norway and the wage will go so much further in the UK and my Wife will not have to work.
So, has anybody done this before? Or know about anyone who has? How does Tax and all that work if I do move back?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Oh, and if anyone has any questions for me please feel free to ask and Ill help as best I can. Ive been here for three years now.
