New Project - Clarification

Brillo Pad

By new project I meant new client, new project different geographical location. Sorry that wasnt clear.

IMHO I didnt think that negotiating a rate rise for your contract would be a "permie mentality". Its just being commercial.

I am always after a rate rise : but my reasons are simply that I will leave. If the reason I gave was "to make up for the loss of tax deduction on travel expenses" then I would expect to be laughed at.

Rate Rise

BrilloPad,

I couldnt agree more. When you are running your own business and negotiating a contract price you wouldnt be telling your client why, you would just negotiate the price. But of course you would know why you were needing a higher contract rate.

Nope, not advising committing 'tax fraud' as you claim.


"He also takes the view that seeing as its a new co, it can be argued Im a new employee on its first assignment so would claim travel expenses at the same client as the previous co.

He says there's a chance HMRC may link the two together but seeing as their resources are stretched thinks it unlikely. In any event, if they do what have you lost because you couldnt claim the travel under the old company anyway."

Silly me I must have read it wrong.
