Working as contractor
Hi,
I'm a spanish mech. I'm looking the possibility to work as contractor because I've been offered some jobs but I need to be Ltd.
Here in Spain contractor is an unknown word so I'm lost, also it is not as easy as in UK to create a Ltd. company and more expensive.
I would like to know if it is possible to work as a sole trader instead of Ltd. company. In Spain a sole trader can act as a Ltd company and issue invoices with VAT and all relevant taxes.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes you can establish your business as a sole trader in the UK. Take a look at the link below which provides basic information on what is required and links to more detailed information.

You do of course need to register with the tax authorities as a sole trader keeping accounts, paying taxes and you also need to register for VAT purposes if you are above the VAT threshold.
