    CCNA Training

    I'm thinking of doing a CBT in this as I only have the practical skills and find that not enough to get me through the pimps. I was signing up for the CBT at http://www.cvision.co.uk/ca/cisco-ccna-training.htm and there is a place for a promo code. Does anyone happen to have one?

    Security Clearance

    I thought that clearance was for one particular workplace. The agents say it lasts 12 months but when I asked the HR dept of my SC perm job they said it was no longer valid and was only for them, it was well below the 12 month limit discussed.

    Software rights

    This sounds bad, get that changed. Sounds like they want you to sign it over to them and only them. They can use it, mod it and then sell it around the world, whereas you can only sell it to them.

    Overpaid Corp Tax

    If your on the flat rate scheme you pay 13% of your total income including VAT so: £100k + 17.5% VAT (17,500) = £117,500 Total £117,500 - 13% FRS (15,275) = £102,225k turnover so 87K in your example.

    Lost income after RTA

    Good point. I've got no paperwork for the extention and after enquiring today I don't think I'll get any. I was just on the phone to my brother-in-law and he happens to be part of the john-q-law. He confirms that now its an RTC and he reckons that because I'm a director and because of the RTC...

    Lost income after RTA

    I've asked for a letter from ClientCo so hopefully that will come through. The RTA happened at the start of the month and I've missed just over 2 weeks. I haven't spoke to the client recently so I'm not sure if they are waiting. The project they wanted me for was just about to start so.... I...

    Optimal pay for new 603L tax codes

    Yeah NI hadn't changed. Anything above 5435 is subject to employees and employers NI. I'm taking the hit, I've got a PAYE incentive from last year to spend anyway.

    Lunch Break

    Your probably gonna rape me for thinking like a permie but I'm contracted for 7.5 hours. If I take 1/2 lunch its 9 to 5 right? The manager at client co said 4:30 but like a fool I worked it out to 5. What do you guys do? I suppose MyCo gets paid for 7.5 hours but I'm onsite for 8hours am I...
