Orangedriver, this memo simply reinforces the point that it is the employees' responsibility to inform the local tax office of their existence. The company are happy to allow confusion to reign in that they can often avoid paying NI contributions in the host country if they declare that the employee is only temporarily assingned to a base away from home.
Whatever you have read here or been told in the bar, you MUST pay tax in the country where you derive the majority of your income. I am afraid that there are no exceptions. Just learn to accept this fact and join the rest of the working population who pay their taxes. You are not exempt because you are employed through a contractor, Brookfield or any other. The rules apply to you as an individual.
Google 'tax avoidance' and read all the advice you can find. No matter how hard you look, you will not find a scenario where you, I mean all of you, are exempt from paying Income Tax. The amount might vary but the principle does not.
