Good grief! £150 per day for 1 month contract.
Different question and most likely 'finger in the air' time?
For those of you who are still contracting, how is your feeling for Outside vs Inside IR35 for say the next 2-3 years?
Assuming you win 6 month contracts and no famine in between each contracts, you are lucky enough and/or good / great enough to go from client to next client with just the usual 1 week break. What is your view of the future?
A: Outside -> Outside -> Outside -> Inside -> Inside -> Outside
B: Inside -> Outside -> Inside -> Inside -> Outside -> Inside
A is a contractor who wins mostly Outside IR35
B is a contractor who wins mostly Inside IR35
I know this is sounds crazy in 2022 and post-pandemic and I know that contracting is not about long-term planning, it has more in tune with the famous Steve Miller Band song, "Take the Money..."
My own initial thoughts, if future contracts are mostly winnable Inside, then what is the point of setting up yet another LTD and an account? If you only invoice a client through LTD in 2023 and 2025 for 6 months a piece, it clearly makes blinking sense at all.
On the other hand, with a lot of confidence (maybe the big head / massive ego / swagger), enough networking with past clients, perhaps, you yourself work actively in a key business niche sector, then you could estimate roll Outside for, say, 80% of the 3 year time period. You, then, could keep a LTD open (dormant) and then go through trusty Umbrella like Lucy's clarity for 6 months or so. I don't know, but I am asking some questions...
Thoughts ..., (and crystal ball)?
Disclaimer: I went permanent over a year ago, I am now reconsidering my options. I need to paid down a big enough financial debt and the cost of living ain't decreasing LOL
