One UK tech company is offering me to work for them (ie. be on their UK payroll). I am citizen of Estonia.

Since, in this job I will travel every 3 or so months between different countries (as in France, New Zealand, USA), then where do I have to pay income tax?

I don't own or rent any property neither in my home country nor UK. I also will not spend more than a month in either of the countries per year.

It depends on different factors but what I would invite you to read is the following document in order to better see where you would sit.

How it usually works in Europe:

  • You pay taxes where your residence is, and,
  • You pay taxes where you earn money.

What countries of Europe have put in place is something that enables you to not pay the same tax twice (home country and where you're earning money). The best is that you contact UK HMRC and your Estonian tax government. The other countries in which you will go, will not count because you will be on their UK payroll. The company for which you will work will manage to charge your services in those other countries and will pay taxes there, you don't have to worry about it.

Some useful links:

Well sorry not enough reputation to put more useful links. But the website of HMRC is really well documented, you should Google for "Non-Resident Taxes" and "Foreign Income" on your local government and for the UK one.
