Credit where credit is due, you must have some big cojones to mention intelligence after starting this thread.

Contractor with some scruples alert. Had to happen sometime, it's just that nobody expected to see it on this forum.

Shame the same can't be said about the agent

Is that what you're calling it?

BTW it wasn't me who tagged this thread with "Rank Stupidity". That was someone else.

She already thinks I've done her a favour by turning down the opposition, so the IR35 ticky boxy thing should be a tad easier. As others have said elsewhere, an IR35 fail is something like 25-30% depending on location, expenses and all that jazz. I got myself some leverage, and I'll be bloody well using it.

Your sort of support really does pay 500 sobs a day (with refunds on request)and quite a lot more if you can be arsed to show your face, although I wouldn't recommend it. That restraining order only needs reactivating...
