    IPSE vs QDOS

    Cheers. I know I have a bit of a tendency to get bogged down in the details! I don't want to get anything wrong. If you have a referrer link you want to post, please do.

    IPSE vs QDOS

    I hope it's ok to bump old threads. It was that or start a new thread linking to this one- sorry if I got it wrong. I'm just starting out in contracting and have a couple of interviews this week. I know they might not come to anything, but if one of them does I'll need a contract review quite...

    Best Tax Efficient Way To Stay Under The Higher Tax Band In 2016/2017

    Cool, thanks. I just want to make sure I'm asking informed questions, so I dig around a bit here and that helps me know what to ask a professional about.

    Best Tax Efficient Way To Stay Under The Higher Tax Band In 2016/2017

    :happy Yeah, I get that but asking here would obviously never take the place of asking for proper advice. I have a big list of questions for my accountant and that one's near the top, but since the matter was being discussed here I thought it would be reasonable to ask (and I still do). Cheers...

    Best Tax Efficient Way To Stay Under The Higher Tax Band In 2016/2017

    You've answered most of a question I have. However, what if you do that and then they pay the equivalent amount into the joint mortgage as an over-payment? I would benefit from that too, so it sounds like it might be viewed as a bit dodgy? (Although where does that end.) (I world ask an...

    Fired and escorted out because I did not accept to be paid less than hours worked

    I saw it too.

    Getting a new passport

    Re the one I sent off on Monday (normal service), I've just had this text message: That's pretty good. ("Keep it safe", though :mad:. It was my £80-odd, not theirs.)

    Getting a new passport

    I just sent mine off on Monday. You do have to send the old one with the application. I would have chosen the fast-track service except that you have to make an appointment and go in person.

    Permie > Contractor

    That's what I was thinking. If you have an established reputation, sure, but for a first gig? Anyway, I'll be interested to hear how this pans out, DanielSQL.

    Permie > Contractor

    How did this go? I'm only starting out and definitely not an expert, but I'd be amazed if anybody would wait 3 months for a contractor. It's hard enough convincing anybody to wait that long for you for a permanent role.

    Start-up costs.

    Cool, thanks. (Also thanks for telling me the terminology- I'll do a search on director's loan.)

    Start-up costs.

    Thanks, that's good to know in terms of keeping skills up to date.

    Start-up costs.

    Thanks all, that's really helpful. I have a tendency to get a bit bogged down in the details, and didn't want to assume anything. (I'd been able to find some threads about which expenses can be claimed back, but not specifically about how the money should legitimately pass from me the individual...

    Start-up costs.

    First off, I promise I've read the "Basic advice" sticky at the top, and I couldn't see this mentioned. Also I have done a search but I might not be using the right search terms because I haven't found an answer. So with that in mind, I have a question, and the answer might seem obvious to you...

    Using LinkedIn to find contract work

    Thanks for the feedback. I was really asking how it's viewed in the community, because I don't know yet (but I've seen it done), and don't want to make a mistake that could cost me. I definitely know that I will have to do a lot of legwork if I want to get work. That's not an issue at all; I...
