Non Resident Status For Self Employed Working In China

Post Content

In a situation where a newly self employed person goes to work full time in China for a complete tax year, will HMRC award him non-resident status with regards to UK income tax for that tax year ? Also does it affect the decision if that person invoices a UK company or alternatively, a German company for his services?

Manufacturing_Licensing and IP Assets

Dear Member,
A physical person based in Southern Euope is the Holder of Patents and Trademarks.
Such person intends to incorporate in an adequate Jurisdiction for conducting business at worldwide level.
Business will include essentially : 1) Out-licensing to third parties, therefore receiving payment of royalties 2) The production of several goods through contract manufacturers based in countries different from the jurisdiction of incorporation. The sale of such goods at worldwide level. The Owner of the IP needs to remain a "key figure" of the new Co. Such Co needs to be based in a reputable Jurisdiction as it needs to dialogue with public companies.
Possible solutions: A)"sell" the IP assets to a Co based in UK, CH, Delaware, Hong Kong, Singapore. and become employer B) Sell all the IP but retaining the license for southern europe... Alternatives appreciated. Regards, I.L.
