Hi,
I've been reading this site with great interest and have been worried about a few of the aspects of contracting from day one - particulary IR35.
My first contract has failed IR35 after review - which has lead me to believe contracting is not for me - so intend to look for permanent work. I can't see how I would ever avoid it being a techy monkey in my field of work.
I haven't signed a contract yet - but I have been onsite (employer) to have a security check (which includes various checks at a cost to the company).
As I haven't signed a contract with an agency, I assume I can back out (is a verbal "yes, I'll take the job" a contract?). But I have started the process with having the security checks performed - so what are my rights to reject the contract at this stage. Can they charge me for the checks already performed? I've no idea how much a security check is.
Out of interest...
It's a six month contract - if I didn't pay myself this year - does that affect IR35 in anyway whatsoever.
Thank you for any advice. Hears hoping I'll sleep tonight.
