It looks like I will have to walk away from the Fujitsu role. Just received a response from Abbey Tax regarding the contract for the role, and they tell me that it won't pass the IR35 compliance test. Sent the agency the feedback and have asked them to call me back. Judging by some of the threads on this forum regarding the agency, it looks like they might not budge. So it looks like good bye to the contract and time to get my ar*e firmly back on the bench. I really don't need to be out of work right now.

Not sure I understand. By my reckoning IR35 costs you an additional 15%.
Are you saying that you require an additional £100 per day to cover this 15%?This would mean that you need a minimum rate of over £500 per day in order not to make a loss.Comment

My monthly income would be £2,430 a month, of which most of it would be gone on travel, accomodation and other outgoings I have. It would be impossible to take the role on the rate being offered.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

Originally posted by pmeswani View PostNot sure where you got £500 from. The role I have is with Fujitsu, and is only paying £220 a day. I would need to stay in a hotel local in order to work for them as I will be required to start at 8am on a number of weeks. Travelling to the client site from where I live would take about 2 hours each way, and is an absolute no go. The hotel / B&B costs are about £40 (if I am lucky) to £100 per day.

Sorry, from your OP I thought you were rejecting it because it put you inside IR35 not because the rate was insufficient due to travel costs.Comment
