Working for US company

[lookitsjonno]

Got a potential offer to work remote for a US company. I assume I would have little or no employment rights and would essentially be working as-per a contractor. If so would this mean I'd need to register for VAT if my earnings exceeded £85k?

Probably a question for an accountant, but just after guidance at this stage.

It depends if they have a UK subsidiary or not? Do they employ other people in the UK?

Nope, they literally have a hand full of people in across Europe

I work for a US tech company who has an all-remote workforce across EMEA. About 20 people all told. Everyone is an employee with a local law employment contract. So I'm employed under UK law. They should do the same unless you like being an at-will employee with no rights.

Thanks. How did you draw up and agree the local law employment contract with the US company? How do you go about getting paid, do they pay you in GBP or USD and how do you deal with the FX?
