Read Answer by Brigieta on 17/11/2010I am American, I met a Scottish man online, we have been talking for about ten months now. I have very strong feelings for him, as does he for I. We want to move in together as soon as possible, but as you can imagine it's rather difficult. Our options would be living here, or in London. How would each one of be effected by living in either area while just starting our physical relationship? I mean, I would never set anything in stone until I knew it would turn out but i would like some advice.
Read Answer by EditorUK on 26/04/2010Dear Jean-Baptiste,
I've been living in the UK for almost a year now and I just can't seem to get British men to talk to me. I may not be a supermodel but I've never had a problem finding guys who are interested in me till now. Surely it can't really be true that British men are all scared of women. How do they ever get into relationships? What am I doing wrong? I'm not scary!

Heard a horror story to the effect that it is possible that the French authorities will demand tax regardless and I will have to demand recompense from UK tax people
Is this correct ?..
Thanks
Read Answer by Edward ThomasHello,
My girlfriend is from Romania and recently graduated (in Bucharest) with a Masters degree in Architecture. She would like to find a job in the UK, but does not meet the income requirements as a highly skilled migrant.
What (realistically) are the chances of her obtaining a work permit, or other dispensation, that would allow her to work as an architect in the UK?
Read Answer by EricI moved to Switzerland in March 2011 for FT employment with Swiss based company. I have Swiss resident permit, Driv License, an apartment etc. Go back to the UK most weekends to see a child (12) from prev marriage and English girlfriend. Also still have a house there. Completed P85 when I left the UK. If remain below 183 days in any year and average below 91 will I be considered non-resident? What are the immediate tax implications if in just 1 given year, I was to be in UK between 92-182 days?
Read Answer by ColinI work for a UK company in the oil exploration field and am a UK national with UK residence and home ownership.
Other than 2 or 3 days a year in UK for meetings, I spend 200-250 days abroad typically no more than 75 days in any individual country a year. I can live anywhere.
Is there a country I could move to avoid or reduce income tax on what would be entirely foreign earnings, and avoid UK income tax.
Would keeping a home or the occasional l day at head office keep me under UK income tax?

I am a Maltese citizen working for four years with a private company in London. I have been recently offered a job with a research institute in Brussels and HR informed me that I will qualify for expat status.
What does this mean for Belgian tax liabilities, social security and public health care?
Thanks,
