    Which are the "popular services" you are referring to? Can you elaborate? In my current specific situation there are no coworkers from Germany. I didn't even know that a US-based c…

    Someone else will make huge money only because bogus laws in Germany which probably won't be fixed even in the year 2100. Anyway, I really like the idea and it sounds totally hassl…

    When did they close that loophole?

    Comment #20607661

    I don't think that my employer would do so only for me (given that I don't even have an employer right now, I'm just speaking generally here). But I agree this would indeed be the …

    I do not want to save any money in taxes, health insurance, social insurance or pension fund. I am actually happy to pay all this. Nevertheless I heard horror stories even by doing…

    Thanks to let me know the additional conditions. As an employee I wouldn't be able to control that.

    Couldn't I just pay all of that stuff by my own to show them I have no intention to do so? I want everything to be legal. I do not want to save any money in taxes, health insurance…
