Excuse me? talk about jump to conclusions!

I was part of Montpelier scheme from 2001-2006, I then went LTD until 2011, then permie paying my 40% since beginning of 2012 and just last month jumped back into Ltd contracting. So if you call being perm and LTD for essentially a decade not paying taxes then guilty as charged!!!

This is true, but as more of the technical, support, infrastructure goes, there will be more pressure to have the project delivery based in Bangalore or body shopped over too.

Enjoy while it lasts, aim to retire asap.

Just because they speak with an accent don't believe they are stupid.

[smalldog]

Not suggesting it won't happen and certainly nothing to do with accents, just not the case right at the moment.

Just because they speak with an accent don't believe they are stupid Boards and government are happy to pass all the risk over to save .20p, don't believe they are all good at anything.
