Its true I ve been out of UK contracting for a few years 2017 to be exact but it was for many years a good 3%. I expensed plenty of drinks . dinner trains and travel but rarely Apple laptops
I dont have the exact number but like I said it was 3% which was somethingComment

Add in to that the, let's call it £70k "passive" income that went through his company, so the company books would be reporting over £300k.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostIf we're to believe his posts, in 2017 he earned £193,200 + VAT @20%.
That would be invoicing the client £231,840. Which, if my maths is correct, is over £230,000. That would mean he was not eligible for FRS.

Is it actually a choice of £600/day vs £80K+ or is the reality now it is a choice of £0/day vs £80K+?
Because if you can still get those kind of contract rates you would be mad to take that kind of income drop and go permie.
I think people need to let go of what they could command pre-covid and pre-private-sector-IR35 rules.
Everything has changed and for the worse.
600 per day in my view is FAR better than 80K perm take home once you take into account the CONTRACTOR benefits like VAT gain expenses director salaries dividends etc - Many people on here twist and turn and say thats not true and talk endlessly about the perm benefits like a days training a year!!!Comment

I'm happy with living in the UK and then not coming on here obsessed with rates and past "efficiencies" that don't apply any more.
I'm also happy to be mortgage free on all my properties, and when I rent ones out, it's to friends at a rate that covers costs.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
