The biggest pain is the initial starting up of a business and understanding the accounting flows in different countries
Yeah, it's true, once you get your head around the initial setup it's really not too much headache, especially if you decide to get an accountant to fill out your Self Assessment. And since I am a (happy) contractor despite my hatred of boring admin tasks, I guess currently the benefits for me are outweighing the negatives. I'd just rather have all the benefits without the boring admin (surely I'm not asking for so much 😂)
handling my own taxes in 4 countries at this point
😅 That's bringing me out in a cold sweat just thinking about it
I moved from the UK to France 3 years ago and I'm still dealing with the last bits of having tax stuff to do in two countries and I have an accountant 🤦

Old tax stuff never seems to end, @erdo... Good luck with that! Hope you get to wave goodbye to HMRC soon!
