Ok shock over, let’s move forward!

Well following yesterdays bombshell letter about the tax issue if you are still a UK resident living in Sweden I decided to get my jaw off the floor and start working.

My initial research shows that there is little information out there yet I am sure in this day and age that I am not the only person that is going to be working remotely in another EU country yet is still paid by A UK Company.

I’m not one for doing the whole self employed thing that is just lazy. I just want to do this the right and productive way. One good news is that I have three months to live in Sweden before I even begin to get this resolved so I am looking at around December/January time. Moving to Sweden is going to happen and nothing can de-rail my dream. Ok so I will probable have to pay around 15% more tax than I am paying right now. For the price of a dream that is a small price to pay, besides I will be saving much more than I am here.

Above all if you have a dream in life you are going to have to make sacrifices, no matter how little or big they are, it’s the price we have to pay. So I guess I had better sign off today and start ringing up these tax offices!
