    Contracting UK not viable. Where then?

    I mean, just where do you go? I have a place in Spain but there's no market in that location really.

    What are viable alternatives to contracting in the UK, now that the government have effectively killed the industry overnight? Where can you go, where your income (either contract or perm) is sufficient to give you an equal or greater standard of living?

    Syria.

    Talking of which - what's the dividend taxation policy of ISIS?

      Singapore? Australia? No idea.

      Working for the EU can be very lucrative. They have all the UK taxpayers funding them.

          Didn't Australia bring in their own version of IR35 making LtdCo use pretty much impossible?

            New Zealand seems a good place to go, I know a lot of people who have emigrated, be careful though as it can be hobbit forming
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  Probably, but as a lifestyle choice, you can get a **** off big house, big V8 car and life it large like a footballer compared to the UK.
