Ok if I get this correctly, with a german gateway you are considered to be a tax resident in germany under the UK-German DTA and will pay taxes only in germany and arrange Tax Code NT with HMRC in the UK. Social Security will be payed in the country where you are based, so for what its worth you pay taxes and social security like any other german employee. Does this sound right?
