Clarity is back as an FCSA member

[eek]

Nope and probably nope afterwards. HMRC need the company open so they can get the money from the directors if the company hasn't got it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's the reality....

[eek]

Nope, employment costs will need to be deducted - it's not £12.21 its £12.21 + 10.76% holiday pay + 15.5% employer NI / Apprenticeship levy....

[eek]

That Simply pay one is interesting and something I've seen a fair bit recently - the sales pitch has moved from minimising tax paid to aggressive (and unjustified) expenses claims

And remember that umbrella expenses are very tightly controlled because HMRC regarded even legitimate ones...

[eek]

I will refer you to my comment last night as to what I believe the criteria used in selecting that list of approved umbrellas was.

I would make 100% sure that you are paid within a week of your timesheet being approved if I was you.....

[eek]

I haven't a clue why Nothing to see here is talking about Honest Payroll here.

The reason I posted it was to emphasis a particular point I wanted to make to Protagoras but it's utterly irrelevant to this story as I don't believe any of the Cypriot group pay money to workers in advance....

[eek]

As an employee RTI does mean payment to HMRC because and I will refer to this article https://contractoruk.com/news/why-js...just-wont-work neither of the comments below are true..

• the individual knew that the employer had 'wilfully failed' to deduct the PAYE, or
• the PAYE was due in relation to

...

[eek]

Is the local authority work interesting?

Remember the real rule is how does this contract help me get the next one......

[eek]

There are no way that a legitimate umbrella worker would have any problems prior to April 26 let alone afterwards - the only way you would be is if you intentionally entered a scheme and continued to use it after your first payslip revealed a large untaxed payment.

Also HMRC won't show...

[eek]

You have a number of misunderstandings there

1) The end owner isn't that significant - that is just where profits go if any are made - what really matters is where the money is stored, where the umbrella does it's work and who is in charge...
2) FCSA is a Private company limited by...

Work March, umbrella receives money in April, paid into pension on Xth May. I can see where the idea of 40 days come from...

[eek]

From my experience of Giant, they are the default as they facilitate things for AMS.

Giant will have a list of umbrellas that front the money otherwise like Clarity (who only pay workers when they receive the money from AMS) you will be being paid 30 days later when AMS/PSR pay the bil...

[eek]

I know how they worked when I worked through them but having been outside for the past 2 years I haven’t needed to worry about such things...

[eek]

Clarity used to work that way - it’s very much a question of how and who handles processes. Larger umbrellas will have tasks set out so 1 set of people do payments, 1 do expense approval another do pension payments...

[eek]

This is not a dig at the OP but it shows how much the world has changed, £10k used to be money that would be available in a couple of months just by not spending much for a short period of time.

equally £10k won’t give you much for home improvements. My daughters kitchen (small) cost...

[eek]

Not quite I was reporting the steps needed to do it while retaining some redundancy - basically don't replace 2 drives together you need to do it one at a time...

but hey I've only been there and utterly screwed up the rebuild of a parity disk and lost some data so what do I know....

[eek]

Hope you shopped around - the brokers have 15-25% discount of EVs at the moment...

[eek]

So you need 1 bigger disk now for parity 1, then a rebuild at which point you can adding old that 8tb drive for additional storage.
You can then add a second parity drive late (same size as parity 1) before adding that old 8tb drive for even more storage.

I would go for the 16gb Toshiba...

Darn bloomin' right.

I was already considering closing it, but C got there first.

Honestly. What's wrong with people? But thanks.

[eek]

All that matters is price per tb - and then how the NAS works.

based on what you quote the Toshiba 16TB is the best deal - although I think the drives I need to install cost less as I bought them before storage costs started to increase thanks to AI.
