That's what self-employment is about right? How can we make those independent decisions and take risks as we used to?
The point i am trying to make is that if we all said "NO" to this and pushed for more day rates or atleast put that on the table, maybe not in your current role as we all have to secure a role in the interim but in your next role then the market will respond accordingly.
If hiring an inside Payroll consultant is going to cost my end client extra 300-400 a day then i am sure companies, agencies will try to find contractors who can work outside for less or try make an effort to release roles for affordable prices. Makes sense?If you don't have anything nice to say, say it sarcasticallyComment

If you take on a contract that is inside IR35 and therefore go through an umbrella company instead of your own ltd co, is it true the take home pay is almost identical whichever umbrella company you go with, the difference being only what fee the umbrella company charges?Comment

Hi, just got this breakdown numbers for a PAYE contract
Contractor Cost - £525.00
ERS NIC 13.80% - £61.76
Apprenticeship Levy 0.50% - £2.24
Pension 3.00% - £13.43
----------------------------------------
PAYE Rate incl Holiday - £447.57
Holiday Pay 12.07% - £48.20
----------------------------------------
Contractor PAYE Rate - £399.37
What would be my net/take home pay then? I assume it's not going to be £399.37 as I can't see any employee NI in there.Comment

It can drift a little, if you have a week off you get an extra week of personal allowance to reduce the PAYE the next week.Comment
