Daftest question from an agent?

NLUK I;m sure you make it up as you go along. I have NEVER said JSA is preferable, just an option if you're stuck. Nothing wrong with this.

At least stick to the facts...

While we're on the subject of facts: how much cash did you have in the company bank account when you were signing on?

Hmm I didn't consider that. I only thought about the fact he's claiming outside IR35 when he's clearly in so just went for the gross figure. I thought that would cover permatractors and contractors alike.

Im sorry I forgot, there are people on here who are most successful, most important, highest earning contractors IN THE WORLD. No-one could possibly do what they do and any other contractor is just below them and not a proper contractor.

Believe what you want lads, if it gets you a bit of stiffie to wave it around like that.

Low salary, dividends, claiming an iPad/iPhone as an expense, income splitting with the missus..., my point is that if you get up to any of this, taking the high ground with PC claiming JSA is a bit rich...

As I've always said of course. But some people have a bit of a superiority complex on this forum.

Looking a fool now NLUK. You don't know me, know what I do, seen my contract, noted my working practices yet you've decided I'm inside IR35.

Must admit this is not a good day for you. At least normally some of the abuse you give he is based on some sliver of fact.

[psychocandy]

Doesn't it depend on the circumstances in which he was claiming JSA?

The legal circumstance.

No, just ones that see JSA as standard option.

The IR35 issue is irrelevant anyway at those levels. It's all about maximising the tax credits for his wife's kids.

Sorry to bring this back on topic, ladies...
Daftest question from an agent?

"The client are very happy with you and the rate is HALF what I've strung you along with, when can you start?"

[psychocandy]

It's not the fact he claimed it. It's the fact he bangs on and on like he's proud of it. Look at his sig. He's inviting it with that alone. It's just ridiculous.

And it's not even in the same league as the items you mentioned. They are all in guides and advice given buly professionals and HMRC. JSA isn't so an invalid argument really.

Jeez NLUK I just advise its an option. Yes I'm proud of the fact that I can decide for myself whats legal and whats not and whats appropriate. I'm proud of the fact that I don't pontificate to strangers what they should do just because I dont agree.

Not going over it again. The rules for JSA are in place. Its been discussed with them - IT IS LEGAL. Claim it or dont claim it. Up to you.
