I do a lot of work for US-based clients. I'm registered as a sole trader here in Poland, and my accountants take care of the tax details.

I issue invoices every month, and transfer monies where my accountants tell me to.

Taking payments is easy: I have an account with http://currencyfair.com that clients can deposit funds into. At a push, I can be convinced to accept PayPal - clients pay all fees associated.

My advice: find a few accountants nearby to you, have a meeting with each and discuss your requirements. They'll be able to give you the answers you need, and life becomes good from there.

Hey, I'm in similar situation (also located in Poland, doing remote work for a US-based company). I'm currently using PayPal for money transfer, mostly because it's instantaneous and easy to both deposit (for the client) and withdraw (for me). Could you summarize why you prefer currencyfair.com over it?
