Be interesting to know which country......but maybe not ...
In any event FWIW you pay Full employees NI at BA, regardless of where you live, and even if you live outside the UK the HMRC will tax you on that proportion of your income earnt in the UK or UK airspace, so you are never going to be fully tax free.
There are some perhaps living in some principalties in Europe who legitimately pay no tax, there are alledgedly some living (perhaps under the radar) in places who have vague tax regimes, that is something that is perhaps easy for the singles to do and those with no kids but once you get family commitments it gets difficult if you are not fully embedded in the local system for healthcare, education, etc etc .
Many of the former tax "havens" have tightened up in the search for tax revenue, for example France started taxing foreign based aircrew a few years back, and certainly in many European countries you will be liable to their income tax as well as the UK's in some shape or form. Ultimately if anybody here is seriously thinking of joining BA + living in mainland Europe for tax purposes they need to take professional advice, not just the advice from someone who has heard a story from a guy that lives in XXX........and of course just to add to the mix there's the complication of Brexit, residence or not on mainland Europe for Brits and perhaps even complications on cross border working coming up.....
On another subject have to agree with 4468 that :
" BALPA representatives seem to use the exact same comparator airlines as BA management do. So Norwegian, Easy and Ryanair. I never hear BALPA seek to compare our package to legacy carriers in Europe, Middle/Far East, or the US!"
