Where would one go for dependable and thorough advice/information on doing contract work in the UK? E.g. with regards to paperwork/admin, taxation etc.
I've been offered an exclusive contract with a US company (so no third-party agency or anything) and I'm trying to work out if it is worth the administrative burden to carry out the work here in the UK or if there are any other risks/challenges I need to consider, having always otherwise been a salaried employee. As an additional potential complication for tax purposes, I'm a US citizen (with indefinite leave to remain & work in the UK), although the salary is still below the limit for claiming a foreign-earned income exclusion, so it's probably not an issue.
I have read a couple casual "blog-style" explanations online but I would rather have solid advice about my specific situation. What kind of professional should I talk to (and how much should I expect to pay them, if anything, for their advice)? Are there any knowledgeable people here on PFM who could point me in the right direction?
