Inside IR35 vs Permanent Income

[psychocandy]

It will depend on one thing only: your overheads. You'll be paying for hotels and transport from your net pay. If you are lucky enough to be contracting locally, then its very likely to still make sense. If you are travelling, who knows?

We can rest assured that rates won't go up.

EXACTLY. Living away and doing an Inside gig is a bad idea nowadays. Good for local people like me though.

Hmmm. Rates did go up massively for some public sector in April 2017 when contractors left em masse and they had no choice but to hike rates. I started here in April 2017 and the rate for my role was hiked by 35% before I started.

Remember, public sector has a bottomless pit of money. Private sector won't be the same. I think their reaction would be getting more outsourcers in and pushing the government for more immigration. The government of course will be only too happy to oblige.
