My other half is going to be working for himself as a self-employed/freelance photographer in Greece. What is the most efficient way of pay tax? Have a UK Ltd company and then pay a salary to himself in Greece and then pay tax on that amount?
He'll be treated as a Greek resident as he'll be in Greece for more than 186 days per year.
Any ideas on what options there are?

Other considerations
Not so easy any more to determine where residency lie. He could be resident in UK and Greece and end up paying tax in both countries but claiming a credit or relief depending on the double tax treaty. Not able to just follow on the 183 day rule - you need to look at the statutory residency test which came into effect last April 2013. I think sometimes in matters like these that this is where an accountant with international experience can be useful in A) complying with the rules B) Find the most tax efficient method. Good luck.
stay well clear of the greek tax authoriites
just got a new client who is 65+ and earns 8k p.a and has been issued with a €269k bill based on the fact that HMRC told greek authotities that she had sold a house in 2009 that she had inherited (no gain) and on which IHT had been paid. The money has never left UK but they wont listen, In 2010 a new tax code was brought into force and having been bailed out by the EU they are now trying to screw all dual residents forf tax which is not due , this is shameful
