I have just moved from England to Germany to be with my partner and my UK company has luckily agreed to me working remotely (as long as nothing impacts them!). I have still fully employed by my UK company, earning a UK salard and paying UK taxes. My company has agreed to give me the equivalent in cash of the monthly cost of my private BUPA insurance which they pay in the UK.
My real concerns now are:
1. Tax: I think I will end up having to pay silly German tax, although other people have told me I will continue paying in the UK. I have heard so much conflicting information on this and it is putting my off actually registering at the Anmeldeamt or getting Krankenversicherung. Has anyone got the same situation as me? If so, what do you do?
2. Tax & UK money: I have money in cash ISAs etc in the UK - do I need to declare this in Germany? Do I really have to? As I guess I will then have to start paying tax on this.
3 Tax & Private insurance: Should I be getting a tax reduction in the UK once my employee cancels the BUPA medical insurance cover?
4. Medical Insurance: I guess I need to go with private here. A couple of issues though... we will most likely be trying for a baby in the near future, so private insurance probably isn't the best way to go, but then again I don't think I will be able to get gesetzlich, will I? Is it still possible to get a form from the UK national insurance to take to a medical insurance here?
I lived in Germany for about 5 years a few years ago and didn't have any of these issues, as I was self-employed with German contracts, had no money in the UK, and back then you were still allowed to have UK medical insurance (I had BUPA) for in Germany, which is apparently no longer allowed.
I have been struggling to find anyone in the same situation who can help!
Thank you for your help!
