Regarding expenses

...So, if you want to take a laptop that is owned by a company, and then use it yourself for personal use (or for other companies), then you (personally) need to buy it off the first company...

I think that we should clarify one small point for little Pete: fair, personal use of a company equipment (e.g. a laptop) is allowed. BUT, one cannot buy equipment exclusively for personal use via the company.

Yes I agree on the fair use part. Unfortunately he doesn't understand the difference between business use by his company and using it for work when not using his company.

Agreed.

If I'm having to use my own equipment then I'd expect some sort of outside leaning. They can provide their own bleddy equipment if they want me inside IR35! Or at least pay me some extra day rate to cover purchase thereof.

Golden rule of contracting. Check out the travel time and costs before agreeing a rate.

Initially it was Outside IR 35. Suddenly they changed to Inside IR35. Agents are pushing me to select one from their own list of Umbrella companies. This is where I was struck

Cheaper renting a room..

Renting a room is more expensive
