My advice is not to work for such low rates inside IR35. Refuse the work. This takes effort, but will be beneficial in the long term for the true contractor professionals who post here.
Inside IR35 the day rate needs to be at least £650/day to make it barely worthwhile. It is important to remember that the March and October government budgets are very likely to contain tax rises targeting contractors and whatever rate after tax that you receive now will not be that after March or October, or both.
If you have other options, projects or opportunities to work on then concentrate on them first. I suspect a lot of the agencies are trying to pocket £150 - £200 per day from contractors through this new world of shafting long term professionals with breadth of knowledge who have, in the past, dedicated themself to quality output in projects.Comment
