          I would make sure there was a 1 week notice period in there and would keep looking while making a bit of beer money out of this one, also rocking in at 10am. 2 HR lunch and then bailing at 4 every day as well as helping myself to armfuls of office stationary, loading a desk and chair into my car, charging all my devices on site and stealing as many of those little sachets of sweetener I could lay my hands on from the canteen...would make that daily rate less of a p!ss take

            I don't understand this requirement for umbrella companies? Where is the legislation that demands them? Went can't you work through a limited company and declare yourself (or they declare you) inside IR35? I don't mind paying PAYE but I'm not paying for an umbrella company.

              If you don't understand it have you researched it? You pay for an accountant don't you? Wouldn't need one of them under a brolly for a start.. Your insurances etc...

                You do know about the changes to the Public Sector, don't you?? Pushing contractors into umbrellas has nothing to do with legislation (not directly, anyway...)

                The big change is that the person who is determining if your contract is or is not inside IR35 is no longer you the contractor but the Public sector department / agency you are working for. IR35 determinations have to be made within 31 days of the contract beginning otherwise the tax due becomes the responsibility of that department not other parties in the chain. This restricted time scale will mean that many departments have no choice but to decide on a blanket decision that everyone is inside IR35 when this begins April 2017.
                Anyway, have a read of this post: http://forums.contractoruk.com/publi...ml#post2360158

                This may still be doable but in the same way that agencies don't want to put contractors on their payroll they are unlikely to actually want the hassle of withholding tax for them and paying it to HMRC.... As such going forward I suspect a lot of agencies will not support or allow the use of a limited company for public sector contracts inside IR35.

                  Because as I hinted above in the quote above most agencies are not set up to handle PAYE and won't have the software / ability to do withheld payments as no -one yet knows how they are supposed to work.

                  Hence they are insisting on using Umbrella's because its the only way they can see being able to do public sector payments in the short term from April onwards.
