I suspect it's more down to the psychological aspect of having to pay so much in tax and NI - and the fact that ClientCo were prepared to pay such an increased rate to begin with - which indicates a lost rate increase opportunity.
However, it's bottom line that counts. Put sentiment out of it - see it as a victory.Comment

I don't see that caving in to pay tax you are not due while having no employment rights is acceptable, it is certainly not a victory. Especially when it is just to appease a dumb procurement monkey that does not have the knowledge to understand or underwrite the contract that they signed in the first place.Comment

If your next contract isn't PS then you won't be IR35-caught then so rate is less important. Since you're talking about leaving PS now anyway you're just postponing the same choice.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by bobspud View PostNo a victory is booking tomorrow off and going to London for two interviews for roles paying more than I am on now. One of which has a potential for a longer term offer of a senior role paying proper permanent wages. (135k + car, health and 25% bonus) So if I am going to pay tax like a bitch I will be one and take the holidays and sick leave open to them...

Originally posted by centurian View PostWell it's only a victory if you land the role, otherwise it's a lost days invoicing. But genuinely best of luck on those roles anyway.
You're letting sentiment get in the way of sound business decisions. I only care about the bottom line. If a public sector outfit offered me a role paying an extra 50%+ on my current day rate, but was inside IR35, I would still take it. I only focus on the net value. The extra tax is just an additional expense of the contract, like travelling costs.Blog? What blog...?Comment
