Originally posted by ChimpMaster View PostLong term contracts would be celebrated in every other business sector out there.
But when it comes to IT, people go out of their way to put down and vilify the contractors who have managed to sustain long term working relationships. So long as you don't allow yourself to become part & parcel, then there is no reason why you can't remain outside IR35 on long term arrangements.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by CompoundOverload View PostLTD or umbrella?
I think most contractors via LTD's know they are pushing their luck if they remain at the same client 2+ years.
However, it doesn't matter how long you're with a client if umbrella as you're not a target.
Umbrella last 3 years for me. No hassle. Despite massive tax uplifted rate to counter. Easy life.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
