Agency PSLs? (Yes agency, not client.)

Tony Blair joins investment bank for $1M
I doubt it, Gordon Brown has no love of the man, and I'm sure an IR35 investigation would make Gordo chuckle. Nothing quite like revenge, especially for a long wait for a high profile job with plenty of ticking time-bombs left behind... :) -

I assume you're a barrister specialising in UK taxation then, with an equally valid yet differing opinion based upon my non-legally minded half-arsed interpretation and communication of the facts then? Or, did you forget your "IANAL but" prefix? Well, since I've already said that it is not...- Chrisos

Well for values of better not including cash percentages, there is the better where I don't have to deal with numbers and accountants and tax people, I just get taxed at source like a regular employee.

Yes, it uses very clever people called "tax barristers" to "minimise" tax payments I have to make, using "law", "legal precedent" and other "amazing wheezes". Possibly from the agency with regard to how they are going to progress, but if you are thinking in terms of dispensations from the tax...- Chrisos

Nope, but another ATSCO member. (Well they tell me they are ASCO members, but I see no logos on their web site, nor are they mentioned on the ATSCO site's list of members either, curious...)- Chrisos

I have been advised that is has been passed onto "legal". My argument was that they had already done their due diligence when I started the initial contract, and since the situation and players have not changed, surely that state remains as was.

Searching was not too difficult, but thanks for the link, I read the other thread.

Agency PSLs? (Yes agency, not client.)
Morning all, I've just had a strange thing happen, my agency has just sent me an email announcing that they have a preferred supplier list of umbrella companies. And, since my umbrella company is not on the list, at my next renewal, I get to either: Change umbrella company, start my own...- Chrisos
