I am a UK citizen. While living in the UK I was below the minimum cut-off and didn't pay tax.
I've spent the last six months abroad. The last three months I have been working remotely (from Brazil, where I am currently; I believe this means I don't pay tax??) as an independent contractor for a US start-up. Money goes from them to my UK bank account.
I'm returning briefly to the UK for an interview for a B1 business visa which will allow me six months in the USA on-site with them.
I have no idea what this means in terms of tax.
It might make sense to start a UK (or even another country??) company of which I am an employee. Then the US startup engages this company & I travel as a representative/delegate.
Again, I don't know the ramifications of this.
The US start-up wishes to bring me on-board. In fact I'm already on-board in everything but US-presence and paperwork. I'm also applying for a more permanent H1B visa, but this process is a lottery.
I don't even know how to find the expertise I need to tell me my best course of action.
Can anyone help guide me forwards?

PS I don't expect something for nothing, or advice for free. Grateful if anyone can direct me to paid consultants.
