Ex-client wants me back for short term weekend work - how to deal with payment etc?

[psychocandy]

Was via agency and umbrella. Obviously, no agency contract in place any more.
My ltd I shutdown years ago (because I was inside IR35).

Whats best way to deal with? Find umbrella who will process my payroll following direct payment from client?

Or direct with client as a sole trader or something similar?

Either way its gonna screw up my jobseekers allowance that week

Honestly. PC.. Why? Just why?

It's bad enough you can't work out what to do in the simplest situations without putting stupid comments in that you know full well is going to rub up the people you are asking for help from.

You are really an idiot of the highest order.

Have you considered talking to the client to work out what they will accept?

Well of course. They've just "oh dunno what do you suggest?"

How did you get paid before?

Is the new role inside or outside IR35?
Does the client make the determination?
If yes, then what is their determination?

If outside then go LTD... duh....
If inside then see if they'll use you as a sole trader? If not then will they put you on their payroll?

Just give them an invoice. Stick in "any other income" on your tax return. Done.

Obvious answer is to do it cash in hand, not through the books. It works for many landscapers.

Close it now, not a serious question, just trolling professional.
