    Wise deactivated my account

I called the HRMC (UK tax office) a few years ago and told them I was no longer living in the UK and wouldn't...

    Company in Bulgaria for software devs

    Hello forum :) I am a UK citizen, but left the UK many years ago and am no longer tax resident. I managed to get a 'long term residence' card in Bulgaria before Brexit. I write software. I work with two other guys, who have their own companies in their home countries. I move around a lot and...
