in Cutting tax
Ok so I asked a question before about paying taxes on money made working online. I asked the same question on the forum of the site I want to work for.
I was told that since I live outside of the United States I do not have to pay tax on the money I make there.
I understand I do not have to pay tax to the US but surely I will have to pay UK tax as it would be classed as income.

You pay tax in the country in which you are resident. if you are resident in the UK you pay tax on your worldwide income (unless you are non-dom).0

The tax would be payable here in the UK. There are several options for minimising the tax you earn. Google "offshore contractors" and take a look at how other people are managing it.Bankruptcy and Supporters club... Member 340.

Your tax will be worked out using UK rules and including your worldwide income. You will, however, receive credit for tax paid in the USA.0
