I might be wrong, but they only have to take one if you are below a certain age _and_ below the border income (Beitragsbemessungsgrenze). Always be careful w.r.t. these kinds of decisions because they could cost you an awful amount of money

A lot of people in IT knowing how to negotiate well will probably cross the border. I would, at least. I agree it doesn't make sense from a financial perspective generally but it does depending on your health records/situation. I,

Which are the "popular services" you are referring to? Can you elaborate? In my current specific situation there are no coworkers from Germany. I didn't even know that a US-based company can give me a German contract. Do you

Can you go more into detail regarding the tax stuff? Who pays the VAT then?

Probably from me. It wouldn't even be a problem for me. I even would pay all of this upfront so there is no hassle five years later.

Someone else will make huge money only because bogus laws in Germany which probably won't be fixed even in the year 2100. Anyway, I really like the idea and it sounds totally hassle-free. I will contact them and ask. Should I give you

When did they close that loophole?

I don't think that my employer would do so only for me (given that I don't even have an employer right now, I'm just speaking generally here). But I agree this would indeed be the best option. Is there a way that I can pay th

I do not want to save any money in taxes, health insurance, social insurance or pension fund. I am actually happy to pay all this. Nevertheless I heard horror stories even by doing so you are at risk they will f..k you anyway after a Prüfun

Thanks to let me know the additional conditions. As an employee I wouldn't be able to control that.

I already know the answer: yes, it will be Scheinselbstständigkeit. The question is how to legally avoid that classification.

Incorporation in another country is too risky for me.

Couldn't I just pay all of that stuff by my own to show them I have no intention to do so? I want everything to be legal. I do not want to save any money in taxes, health insurance or social insurance. I am actually happy to pay all th
