Tier 2 General Visa - Freelancing in India

[ukgendep]

Hi all,

I am currently on Tier 2 General Visa. I have been offered couple of freelancing opportunities from India and was keen on taking them only if it adheres to the rules.

I know its not allowed to be self employed under Tier 2 visa, but was wondering is it allowed that take up a freelancing project and get the money paid in my Indian account ?

i dont think there is anything stopping u, as long as u get the money in non-uk account.

The basic rule in tax legislation is the tax is due in the place where the work is done.

I'm afraid Hector will want his slice of your pie, but as has already been said, how will he find out? He just might though.
