Laptops after Apr6th

[TwoWolves]

There will be no expenses allowance

… which is the final stake through the heart of contracting (or temping as it will now be known).

Yep - expenses was the battle I fought as it was what makes contracting practical for people and clients not in the South.

^^ This.

Read the IR35 guidance and stop annoying us.

[WTFH]

But leasing a laptop at 15/week To offset 780 quid against 40% tax seems like an idea. If you all have a spare 700 quid send it to me.

How old is the laptop?

If you MVL your company, will you have more come our of it than the current depreciated value of the laptop?

I'm going to guess that it's VERY new... like still up on the web page with a mouse poised above the "Buy Now" button new.

Either that, or someone has bought/leased a shedload of stuff through the company "cause it's free" and now is not going to have any income going in to the company to pay for it all.
Company car, company mobile, company everything, but not enough funds in the company to pay for the borrowed lifestyle.

It's kinda funny as well that someone who claims to be a contractor doesn't have any funds at all set aside in a warchest, that even £700 is enough to break the bank.
