@OP - The more important question is (tip to us all rather) - How did you keep HMRC off your back for that long?!Comment

Thank you all for your input. This client is just one of many to whom I supply my services, it just happens to be the only one with an agency involved. The 15% isn't mentioned anywhere in the original contract, but the 6 months is. My understanding was that the 6 months is not enforceable as the legislation allows for a maximum of 8 weeks, but I'll double-check that. Guess I've got some negotiating to do ! Thanks again for the advice.Comment

That would be the opt in/out and it's only valid if you picked the right option. Which did you pick? It was only a year or two old when when you started so it's possible the agent didn't offer you the choice.
Check the sticky about it at the top of the business forums.Last edited by northernladuk; 25 August 2015, 09:41.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

A properly written contract shouldn't mention the opt-out.
I suggest you dig through your emails and paperwork to confirm one way or another.
As they are a current client you should have them."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
