Can I get Tax number while hotel hopping ?

HotelMan

Hi.

I will be moving to the island shortly and will ve doing bar work. I will be moving hotels every week or 2.

My question is can I register for a Tax/Social Security number without a permanent address ?

It looks like I cant but that doesnt seem fair that I cant work legally because Im staying in hotels.

Thanks in advance.

You will also have to apply for your eResidence card as you are employed and therefore no longer a tourist. They, unfortunately, will expect you to show evidence that you have been here 3 months and have a permenant address
As far as a tax number is concerned, I just completed the simple tax registration form and took it in to the office, ( but that was 6 years ago). For tax purposes perhaps you could get a friend or work colleague to allow you to use their address just for registration.

Its not unfair if you are changing your address eveery week or 2 weeks because that is not your  permenant address.

Why keep moving from hotel to hotel?

Makes financial sense at the moment. Costs about £400 a month for a good 3 star,wifi,breakfast etc included. No deposits,no agency fees,no bills etc to deal with.
