I searched these threads a few times, but the question does not appear answered for this topic.
If I become the sole director of a UK Limited Company and wish to reside in another EEA member state and run the company from there, how would this employment status be seen? I'm aware under 2004/38/EC you need to be employed, self-employed, studying or self-sufficient in the host country.
In the UK a company director is not deemed to be an employee by HMRC (see https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/director), but as far as I understand being "self-employed" requires a sole trader registration some form of Chamber of Commerce as personally and wholly liable for your business endeavours, which defeats the purpose of why the Ltd. company exists.
For context, I am a UK citizen, currently exercising 2004/38/EC as an employee in The Netherlands, considering a move and career change to one of Portugal, Spain or Malta.
Thanks in advance for any help!
