Hi - I have been offered an IT contract outside the UK. Being a UK resident and travelling to the destination country for work only, will I need to pay tax?Can you recommend any good web resources for this type of information? Thanks.

Contractoruk.com forums. RTFM first though, to avoid a flaming.

Where you pay taxes depends on the country where you are contracting and the duration of your contract. There is a so called 183-day rule, i.e. if you work more than 183 days in that country then you may be liable for tax there. Find a good advisor that you can talk to; I can recommend Tresag.

JK - is tresag a corporate aimed co? I am a freelance contrator...

No, as far as I know. I spoke to one guy there a couple of weeks ago regarding contracting abroad and he was helpful and gave me some very realistic advice. Their head office is based in Zurich, Switzerland. Here's their websitehttp://www.tresag.com/english/index.jspHere's another good one:http://www.contractorcalculator.co.uk/
