Hi all,

May be this has been discussed in this forum, but i couldnt find it in the Search.

I have NE , I am planning to leave to UK on a job, but still keep the address registered (No abmeldung) here in germany.

I also pay taxes (Not so much) in Germany through my own Company for which i am the Director and alsoa share holder , ( I dont earn salary ) and at
the same time i am employed in UK full time.

Is there any risk for my NE ? What about Health Insurance, do i still need to pay that ?. I would anyways be paying a proportion of my salary in UK for NHS, afaik.

Please advice.

Well, as far as the law goes, it says that you will loose your residence permit if your lebensmittelpunkt moves to another country. The guideline on long term residents could help you, but apparently in the german implementation it will not cover the uk.

If they do find out that you do not live at the address anymore, they could fine you (i think maximum 500 euros according to the Meldegesetz), and may notify the ABH, who may or may not start an investigation on your whereabouts.

Thanks aalvarez for the information.

but, as i said , i would still be going back and forth from UK to Germany at least for the company Issues, i.e the Company im Germany headed under me
would still be paying taxes in Germany.

I am worried about the health Insurance and also
Tax Declaration and the status in Germany. Since there is dual income, ie in germany and also in UK.

Any more suggestions from our community people.

Well, the most important thing is actually to keep an address in germany with your name on it. On the tax front, there is a double taxation agreement with the UK, (which you can get in english and in german) that you have to be careful, as not all income is treated the same, specially if you don't get a salary. If you do it properly, you can get a steuerbescheinigung with no problem, the tax on your german income might be quite high, though, in the UK they are a bit more tight with the money and they will try to get you to have only one residency, specially when it comes to tax relief.

Hi guys,

I will be in the same boat now. I am supposed to get my NE next week. In the meantime, I have a job offer from London and they are processing my work permit. I am supposed to start work in July.

As for the address, I can register with my friend's apartment. However, what about the taxes? Do I have to show that I have some income in Germany? How does that work?

Cheers,

Hi Xen,

You make a Tax return attaching your UK payslips declaring your tax free earnings according to the Double Taxation agreement between the UK and Germany. Whatever income you have in Germany will be taxed at a higher rate unfortunately, but no taxes will be levied on your UK income.
