Low Paid Contract

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

Even accounting for £1200 accounting fees and ZERO expenses, your limited company "take home" if you want to call it that, would be £3,200 approx. per month.

How do you work that out? Assuming outside IR35?

Or lying through the back of their teeth.

Yes. Assuming outside. Flat rate VAT and small salary.

Yes. Assuming outside. Flat rate VAT and small salary.

Was the O/P not comparing brolly co's ?

Makes your 'small salary' comparison somewhat....erm.....crap.

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

Going through an Umbrella or Ltd company because I have very low expenditure (live near site etc) I end up getting paid less than via PAYE.

Yip. Crap.

Might be a bit misleading for the OP - would be surprised if such a low rate contract would fall outside

Guilty before having to prove himself innocent?

Frankly I don't think Waterboy has it in himself to become director of his own Ltd Co (yet, anyway). He'd probably get into all sorts of mess and trouble with the tax authorities. Now in this case the extra couple of hundred quid is a lot of money, but from my POV he would have a far better life stick to PAYE until he better understands the workings of consultancy and Ltd Co structures.
