Hello all, My name is David and I'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere but it seems that the information I'm looking for conflicts from one place to another so I'm hoping someone perhaps with similar experiences could offer some advice/experience.
So I have been working in Ukraine in the form of business trips for the English company I work for. These trips have been for 1 or 2 weeks at a time up to now so it has been simply a case of travelling here on my passport under the 90/180 rule. However there is now a possibility of working for a longer period in Ukraine (still for my company in England) both outside the 90/180 rule and for a longer duration than I have experienced so far.
This raises two questions that I'm hoping someone can answer;
1. As my employer does not have an official company status in Ukraine, we are working with an outsource partner, are there any issues with me receiving pay etc under these conditions. i.e. would I have to pay tax in Ukraine as well as the standard UK tax. Would my company having difficulties paying me as well given this remote status in a country where they have no status?
2. Would I be able to get a work permit when my 90/180 period ends or would I need to register as self-employed in some way to gain the correct status to be eligible for the work permit and TRP?
Any advice would be very welcome and in return when I am in Ukraine next I would reciprocate with a beer or your choice of tipple!
Kind Regards
David
