Double Tax?

I have been offered a job in The Netherlands, working remotely from the UK. So I would still be living in UK, but being employed and paid (in USD) from Holland.

I will be on the Dutch payroll system and Dutch tax will be paid by my employer on my behalf.

Am I still liable to pay UK income tax (and NI)? Or would this be under the double taxation treaty, and only need to pay Dutch tax.

Cheers.

    No one has any idea about this?

    Just to clarify, I did ring HMRC, but they had no idea either. Apparently someone would call me back (obviously never happened). Just asking here, before I waste more money sitting in the phone queue again.

    Honestly, I think to get the best advice you will have to stick it out on the phones.

    Unfortunately the tax team where I work are currently out of the office, I picked up a book and from what I can gather, you don't have to pay tax. But as I say, better off speaking to someone who has experience.

    It depends on how long you are living and working there. I worked in Aus for a while, and didn't pay double tax here, but I was given credit for the tax I did pay in Aus.

    Can I suggest you post your query on the 'Cutting Tax' forum as that's where the experts are for this sort of thing. :)
