Contract vs perm offer?

Contract vs perm offer?

Let’s get this right.
They pay you now. They’re happy with your work, so much so they offer you a perm role.
They want the same from you, for less money.
I’d stick to my guns and tell them contracting or leave.- and bluntly, they’re not going to be paying much less if you go perm anyway.

But he would be getting the same money being inside IR35?

As you very well know, it’s more complex than a straight conversion.
You’re right if inside though. Take home would be less than £60k.

For me it’s general principle of doing business. And if the OP accepts perm then the IR35 risk includes the contracting.

And the client then knows that they can negotiate down. So there’s no payrises on the horizon. In 6 months time I reckon leaving becomes an option again so not really a lot of point.

Just my view though.
