Is my move to Sweden over before it even begins?

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Had a letter through the post from The Swedish Embassy today saying that under Eu tax laws I will have to start paying Swedish taxes the minute I become a Swedish resident. That’s fine I have no worries with that.

However as I will still be paid by an UK employer then I may have to still pay UK taxes too. This will amount to around 60% of my earnings which I will not do. It all leaves everything up in the air right now. I wish that I was not stuck in France right now, I have limited time and have a very busy day ahead but will be researching all that I can before calling both the UK ans Swedish embassies tomorrow morning.

Guess I won’e be watching any World Cup Final today. I also realised I have not had a day off in 18 days. I envy you 9-5 people!
