Self-employment

EU legislation gives every EEA national the right to set up as a self-employed person anywhere in the EU. If you are a self-employed person you may be exempt from paying social security contributions for up to 12 months providing you continue to pay UK national insurance and hold the exemption certificate E101. The form E101 is issued by DWP (Non Residents Helpline).Centre for Non-Residents
