What's the situation with the 2 year rule timeout period? ie. If I worked at a site in London for 2 years, then worked at a site in Manchester for 6 months. Could I then go back to a site in London and at what period would the 2 year rule be reset? Or is it forever? Or is it 6 months, or what?

Indefinitely for the same client, irrespective of where it is based.

You have to start afresh with new search and win new work for it to be reset.

Different clients. May be I didn't make this clear. If I worked for Client A for 2 years, then worked for client B for 1 year, can I then go back to Client A after 1 year and the 2 years will have reset for Client A?

So if you err on the side of caution then, say you pay yourself a modest salary and the rest in divies. Once you get into the 40% band, do you then pay 20% corp tax AND 40% i/c tax? Surely not.....

For the love of god search! I'm pleading with you now.

ok, so does that mean you pay 20% corp tax plus 22.5% income tax once over the threashold?
