It isn't. By all means, whine on social media, but hard luck stories in a professional forum aren't going to help your prospects, quite the reverse....

It's Gricer, nurse had to explain it with pictures....

[jamesbrown]

When a problem arises, there's a simple check to determine whether suity was involved. Is it on fire?...

Whenever you want

Bear in mind, the market appears to be terminally tulipe, particularly in the UK, for that skillset - see the state of the market thread. However, there will always be a reason to not do it, and you can at least test the waters from the security of a permie positio...

Useful graphic of the UK risk premium here, gilts baselined to our competitors and shown against the lettuce and post-2006 statistics.

Also worth noting that you can make a payment on account to avoid this interest.

Typo (space) in your link. Here's the correct one:

It just happens that the US faces some significant and accelerating risks at present too like, er, a massive trade war and a massive budget deficit

[jamesbrown]

There is noise, but the signal coming through is pretty clear. There have been countless articles on this in the FT and elsewhere in recent days and you need to listen to what bond investors are saying, as much as reading the charts. They are saying that the UK has a new risk premium for the fundamental...

On the contrary, Treasuries are roughly the level they were at the start of the week, not so for Gilts, which are much higher. Also, while there is indeed a correlation, they can certainly decouple during election cycles with an election a few days away in the U.S., so I wouldn't pay much attention...

[jamesbrown]

Pretty big self off in Gilts again today, up to 4.55% on the 10yr at one point, investors seem worried about the planned tax/spend/borrowing. Treasury will be watching this nervously...

[jamesbrown]

Some sort of supply chain/compliance tracking for supply chains with umbrellas? Yes, I suppose it did......

Plan A is going great thanks, no need for a plan B

Actually, it's both menu bars. Perhaps it's a sign of old age.

[jamesbrown]

Yes, we know you're a chemtrail moron too ...

[jamesbrown]

^^^^ Also, the second layer of menu items disappear randomly (New Posts etc.) and some context menus appear blank sometimes.

In practice, it means that the agency (or end client) will be responsible for PAYE taxes, but won't be required to operate payroll. As far as I can see, it's akin to an agency engaging a sole trader, which they generally won't do because they are liable for any shortfall in taxes paid. In terms of how...

Since 6 April 2013, an office holder of the end client, which includes an interim director, has been legislatively inside IR35, end of story.

That said, I would separate the contractual issue from the IR35 issue. Obviously, it may cost more to pursue the failed payment than the value of...

[jamesbrown]

Current actual FT headline, "UK borrowing costs jump as Reeves’ spending plans unnerve investors". Obviously, we're not in lettuce territory yet, but markets are unbothered by which politicians are dramatically increasing borrowing in the face of stagnant growth. Again, we're pretty set...
