Precisely.

You might not like the answer, of course, but it is the answer.

Read my first post in the thread. You aren't an employee. Given that, your question remains a non starter.

HTH...

Sorry to agree with the review but that all screams inside IR35...

Incidentally, a substitute for RoS to work legally is someone who takes over the existing contract, responsible for all deliverables, invoicing and the rest. They are not a temporary cover for you, they become you. All you...

So you have an accountant, you have been a contractor, you understand accountancy and have asked previously about related matters and got answers, and yet you are asking a very dumb question to which the answer is blindingly obvious and apparently haven't worked out that YourCo income and your income...

More to the point, you are not an employee in the first place. To become one means some proper paperwork and a lot of other restrictions on what you can do.

So before trying to run (figuratively and literally), try to understand what the terms "Director", "Salary", "Officer...

You all seem to accept that these idiot are actually expecting to achieve anything. Actually they are having too much fun parading their self-proclaimed wisdom on what the future holds, so the disruption they cause to others and their own hypocrisy over their personal preferences are not even on their...

I refer to my earlier post... ...

We tried non-OEM cartridges in ours, Print quality was nowhere near as good, didn't last as long so all in all the cost savings were actually fairly minimal.

Better than HP though - tried a non-OEM refill on an Inkjet once, it never worked again......

And to go to the other extreme, we use a full fat Brother MFC-6300CDW colour laser/copier for around £380. There are cheaper and later variants omitting faxes (what are they!) and photocopying options, but with proper network options for both wireless and wired connections.

I've used...

"Oh look, according to official diary entries, the PM has held meetings with other ministers and officials in his official work place, so he must have broken the law on meetings during the covid restrictions period so let's get the police involved to find out what really happened despite all those...

They have a duty to consider whether or not to report it to the Cabinet Office, who in turn have a similar duty towards reporting it to the police. From what's being said, it seems likely that even a cursory read of the detail would have shown there ware no really compelling reasons to do either. It's...

Really? The obvious difference is not actually that significant. Germany's economy is buoyed up by cheap Russian gas (even now...) and a manufacturing base that sells heavily to China. How long, in the current world, do you think that will continue?

Yes the German economy is bigger, but...

Can I come and live in your world. It sounds nice... ...

...she asked someone who knows the rules if it was possible and they threw up their hands in horror at being asked a question outside their remit and went running to the ethics team...?...

No, he has a clearer view of reality than some. Put it down to excess age and much cynicism.

I was working in the Treasury when Brown was the head man. Outside his personal cadre of supporters, nobody had a good word to say about him and his habit of throwing things at people who disagreed...

She paid the fine and took the points. She tried to do the course but decided it wasn't practical to do so.

We need a Storm in a Teacup smiley. ...

[malvolio]

She did hold her hands up, hence the discussion about speed awareness course options...

This sounds an awful lot like some over-rated civil servant jumping on the Ministerial Standards bandwagon after being asked a perfectly innocuous question....

[malvolio]

Got to say this constant drip feed of such stories is getting very tedious...

She asked if it was possible. Nowhere does it say she asked if anyone could arrange it. She's paid the fine and has three points on her licence. Nowhere does it say she tried to avoid any punishment, only if her...

[malvolio]

Yes.

Do you? ...

You do realise the bird has nothing to do with the country? Or with the "food", come to that......
