Back to contracting, anything changed?

[LameDuck]

Hello and please forgive me for inevitable future transgressions!

Went insane for a while and went permie. Come to my senses and am now looking at taking another city contract. Contracting is fine, I know what I'm about with that, well, as much as any of us do. No, my query is around firing up an LTD.

Shut down my last one 10 years ago, then had a few years on the EBT train (yes, I know), then thought better of it and kept as clean as I could for a few years going through a standard umbrella scheme. Finally, a couple of years permie.

The question is, given SDC beefing up the IR35 rules somewhat, is it still worth setting up an LTD financially? Any thoughts/advice/warnings guys? Maybe somebody out there knows a good (read just the right side of shady, but only just) tax accountant in/around the southend area? I have the small advantage that my woman would be part of it and she's not IT/Banking/service related at all, fully arts and crafts type, so the companies house records would be based around that and I'd just trade thorough it.

As Johnny Storm would say, "Flame on!".

Welcome back to the light!

Limited still seems to be the way to go. Some prefer umbrellas.

For the EBT stuff, joining Big Group is the way forward.

Good luck!

Yep, there isn't a site because there isn't a future.

Oh I just thought there wasn't a site because you don't know how to write a web page.

Harsh, it was WordPress. Wordpress is tricky.

It may be for you.

We run a decent mail order company using Wordpress including some fancy plugins (I particularly like the pick your own chocolate selection box - far better than the others I've seen online) see https://www.jennybeth.co.uk/pick-your-own/

Nah I get my 6 year old to do my WordPress sites.

I am at work so visiting a site about Jenny Beth picking her own could trip out the web monitors and get me in trouble

Sounds like we should add her to the CUK jolly boys outing though, now Mrs MF is up on blocks.

You're right, I am rather counting the pennies after booking that villa in St Tropez
