I have been teaching in Prague for a year on an employed basis. Once I have found a flat and my criminal (or non!) is received, I intend to apply for the Zivostensky (if it is spelt correctly). An expat says that to by pass the system, he has bought a UK limited company from the internet.Does anyone have any experiences of this and able to advise on the pros and cons?

Thanks for any help

Hi Just Fun. If you are happy to work in the CR for no more than 182 days per year, not become a citizen, not vote and pay massively less tax without needing a Ziv. List, then a UK LTD or even your registration in the UK as self-employed will open the door. Under EU law, whatever you can do in business in the UK, you can also do across the EU without further bureaucracy. And, of course, the UK side of the bureaucracy does exist, but, at least it is conducted in English. You must not register in the CR for anything - visas, permanent addresses, offices, etc. You will act like a visitor but work as a consultant, issuing invoices from your UK address and paying tax, etc in the UK. If you need professional guidance - well worth it - I recommend my accountants - Mitchell Charlesworth of Manchester, contact Paul Booth.
Good luck.

It's my understanding that it's 182 days continuous contract work, i.e. how the hell are they going to notice?

If you stay more than 183 days in either country in a given tax year then you are classed as a tax resident of that country. You have to be careful not to set up a "permanent establishment" here. As rogerco indicated, an office will immediately become a "permanent establishment". Similarly you can perform your services for only six months a year. If you are teaching or whatever you are doing, your invoices would show if you are breaking the rules. Cross checking between tax offices does exist. Also with elections on the horizon there are moves to allow single businessmen using simple accountancy a standard 50% write off against tax. Sorry guys, if this happens, it will not apply to non EU citizens who must use double accountancy by law.
