If you plan the game correctly - you get more out of an inside IR35 than you could with an outside one. Remember the deferential is £25,000 or so which is a lot of extra money going straight into the pension pot.
But I do know all the rules well enough (including the points at which you can change pension deductions) to have played this game exceedingly well....Last edited by eek; 20 February 2023, 10:18.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Doesn't add up at all with multiple clients. Pensions are efficient as a Ltd, and outside contracts don't require you to lock in contributions to remain "efficient". So this is a healthy dose of copium.
Also - outside IR35 = less money and probably more work....Last edited by eek; 20 February 2023, 15:59.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Oddly I haven't ever done and an Inside contract (although as I am not doing an Inside or Outside contract at the moment that isn't really a boast) but the ones I have looked at generally have enough uplift to justify commuting (London is about £600 a month for me) but not working away from home during the week.
The latter scenario would now mean a serious daily rate or expenses being paid.Comment

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed rates for the big banks have definitely dropped from the end of last year and rates on offer are 10-20% lower.Last edited by TheDude; 21 February 2023, 11:35.Comment

March - clients don't hire because they are waiting for the new tax year <- you are here
April - clients don't hire because they haven't got all the budget they wanted
May - clients don't hire because they are off for half term and then spend a week talking about it.
June - clients don't hire because they are planning summer holidays
July - clients don't hire because they are winding down for the summer holidays
August - clients don't hire because they are on holiday
September - clients don't hire because they are thinking back to their holidays
October - clients don't hire because they are on half-term holidays and then bragging about them
November - clients don't hire because they are planning Christmas parties and holidays
December - clients don't hire because they are partying and then on holiday
Pick your time for looking for a new contract carefully.

Your PA reduces by £1 for every £2 earnt up from £100,000 until £125,000 per salary (At £125,000 gros salary per annum you have zero £0 PA - it disappears).
Therefore, if you can ask your employer to execute a Salary Sacrifice to transfer (£X - £100K) into a penson pot then you get that benefit in later life.
I am not sure what an Umbrella company will do to match the SS pension contribution, if they do that.
