Paying tax in EU countries

Hi there,
As of next year, my company will be working with clients in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. As we will be sending Freelancers to work in the service and events industry in each country and generating a lot of revenue, I would like to know how to (and if I even need to) be taxed in each country.
Which governmental departments should I speak to?
Will my UK freelancers be taxed for the work they perform when I pay them?
As a British LTD, would I need to file for corporation tax in each country?
Context: We are a UK Based LTD. We organise educational events for private schools in Europe. We send UK freelancers to perform a maximum of 4 weeks work with the client who we are working with, then pay the Freelancer after they invoice us.
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
Ben

the tax affairs of the contractors it engages to deliver the work is of no concern to the UK Ltd Co (we will take a read it is not large enough to be impacted by the new IR35 rules)
the tax liability of the Ltd co will come down to where it has statutory tax residency - that appears to be the UK. The rest is then covered in the respective tax treaties for non natural persons
these are questions you employ your company accountant to answer, not try for freebies on a forum given there will be "a lot of revenue"0
