Contract Abroad: Options to be paid

getk

friends,
I got a contract abroad in middle east (Doha) as a contractor. My agent (who pays the money) asks me to start a limited company in the UK, like other contractors do. I'm planning to work there for an year, so don't think HMRC would have any issue

But I don't want to go into hassle of claiming every expenses, HMRC deals, starting company, pay corporate tax etc.. Hence my question

1. Is there a way to start an international bank account, so that I can get paid in Doha ?

2. Anyone in similar situation? Any info regarding bank details/options would be very helpful

cheers

You would probably be best advised if you followed the guidance you got from your agent. They will have a lot more experience with the subject matter than probably all of use here, and they know your contract details, which we don't.

It's also a good idea not to 'think' what the HMRC position would be, but instead to confirm it with them. This is particularly advisable if you have any previous 'history' with the HMRC.
