I have left my desk job in Holland now that I secured another job. I’m very very much looking forward to the new one.
It will take me all over the world, meeting new people and to areas where no one with half a brain cell would go to. I will get paid lots and tax-free soon!
To be eligible for tax-free income, I must not be in the UK for more than 3 months in a tax-year. So I’m planning new US roadtrips. I also get a third of the year off work to do my elaborate tax-evasion scheme.
Can’t beat that!
However, that’s all very well but if the job turns out to be unchallenging, not tasking my brain, then no perks in the world will make it better.
Anyway, enough rambling. My contract and associated paperwork was posted to my UK address in early October.
It didn’t arrive until the last week of October due to a typo in the address.
I duly filled out all the forms, and sent it back. A week later, it was discovered I needed to send another form back which wasn’t on the supplied checklist.
More delays. A renewed passport means my visa to a country somewhere in Africa needed renewing.
Bets are on now for whether I’ll actually get to go to work before Christmas. I need the money, as if I don’t, it will be two months without pay, and that’s over Christmas/New Year…
