    Questions - contract and expenses

    Hi all

    This is related to a previous thread about a contract I've got in Paris. Have received the contract but want to get it checked. Not specifically for IR35 (as would prob use Bauer&Cotrell for that), but just for general T&C's. Anyone got any suggestions? Also anyone know of a good accountant that can advise me on how to best set myself up? Via a ltd or to stay with my current umbrella? With regards to expenses, do I need to include them in my contract as they have send me a Standard Expenses document outlining what I can claim and how. Sorry for the 1001 questions!!!

    What do they say. You claim them through invoice?

        One thing about France can be the payment terms. This might not be a problem if you are dealing with a UK agent but it can be a problem if dealing direct.

        Most of the French companys I have dealt with always pay on "10th after 60". effectively this means:

        Work January
        Invoice by 10th Feb
        Payment 10th April [If the invoice wasnt duly signed off by the 10th it will will be the 10th of May - submission of the authorised invoice started the clock]

        Never any problmes with them meeting that schedule - everything generally popped out like clockwork - but it can mean that you are carrying a lot on the sals ledger which needs to be budgeted for. Also try and ensure you have the written commitment up front. It can be a bugger getting paperwork to support invoices out of anybody French.
