Well you are married and I would assume in community of property. You may want to consider an Ante Nuptial Contract to block off any problems. Make the company part of the contract. You should be able to register it after marrage, but might cost a little bit more.

Just my 2 baht.

Well,

I PM'd him but no response at all

I would not recommend going to Hat Lek, that is the worste experience you will have. I can assure you. The Cambodians are so corrupt to the point of killing the goose that lays thier daily goldern eggs.

You can catch a flight from BKK to Hat Yai and take a 100Baht minibux to Sadoa the border town. It looks like Little Pattaya, except the falangs are all Indian, or take a bus to Hat Yai for 550Baht. Aircon, overnight trip. Remember the Malaysian border only closes at midnight.

No visa fees on the Malaysian boarder, so it discounts your airfare.

I think you are re-inventing the wheel. If you put contract work on Elance as an example, irrespective of who does the work or where, they pay thier own tax, it is not your responsibility. You have sub-contracted the work to them be it a one man band with a nice website.

The same holds true for most employment in developing countries with tough labour laws. I hire you as an independant sub-contracter, therefore while in my employ, you do not fall under any labour laws so no annual leave, severance pay etc. A simple contract solves the issue. If you send the money with Western Union each month that solves the problem.

If you pay it into a local UK account then you would have to close some loop holes, such as you hire Jim Beam t/a Clickable to do the work so if he is a British Expat, you have hired Clickable to do the job and the Receiver of Revenue cannot compel you to act as a collecting agent as Jim Beam is acting as a company (Registered or Not) and you are paying a company.
