Hi

I recently moved to DK to live with my girlfriend, and was lucky enough to be able to bring my work with me. I am still employed by a UK firm as a remote employee and pay PAYE tax in the UK as I always have done.

I return to the UK frequently for work purposes, but am aware that once I've been in DK for more than 183 days, I will be liable for tax here.

Does anyone know what the rules are governing taxation for remote workers such as myself? Specifically, does anyone have personal experience of a similar situation and have any answers to the following questions:

-Is it possible to remain employed abroad and pay tax locally?
-Is it not until 183 days have passed that I need to make these decisions? -How do they measure when the 183 days starts, and can trips back to the UK be subtracted from this time?
-When it comes to the 183 day point, will my tax be assessed for the tax year at that point or the 12 month period leading up to that point?

I'm aware that I probably need to get a professional consultation for these questions, but thought that this forum might be a good first step for some anecdotal advice.

Thanks
Alex
