    Death of Composite Co's?

    Indeed! As above, you are no longer running a limited company, you are now a PSC, a company that provides 'personal services' and as such should be taxed as a person would, i.e PAYE and NI.... Believe me, this is the first step to replacing IR35. And yes, as we have long acknowledged we are no...

    Paid too much!

    Hmmmm.... That's where it gets interesting! Sure, the agency will view it as VAT, but as far as his company is concerned it has received and paid out all of the VAT due on it's invoices. This is 'extra money' that appeared in his company's account....

    Paid too much!

    How can this be classed as "stolen money"? :bluelight He never asked for it, the agency just paid it to his company bank account, it's their screw-up.... He's happy for it to rest in his company bank account for a year or so. He is just looking for advice on how it can be drawn out, e.g. raise...

    Paid too much!

    A friend of mine recently formed his own company and began trading whilst waiting for his VAT registration to come through. He was invoicing the agency on a weekly basis (exc.

    Bloody hell...

    Am I the only one who doesn't 'do' Dubai? Fair enough, there is lots of cash being spent on hotels et al, but what else has it got going for it? The insides of the hotels look real tacky, no class, sophistication or style... Just the old Saddam approach, gold plate everything and the jobs a...

    Some advice please regarding where I stand??

    Hi James, My advice is: 1. Nobody owes you anything in life, ever, whether you run the company yourself or you are the lowest temp on the ladder. 2. The best / most worthy person generally will not get the job. The one who puts a twinkle in the eye of the hirer does. 3. Learn how to...

    Worst customer service..

    Aer Lingus must have head-hunted their Ops Manager, because they are just as bad nowadays. Regular delays, increasing in length as the day goes on because they can't meet the scheduled 1m 37 sec turnaround times. Full of stag weekends / hen parties 'cause the tickets are cheap :rolleyes: Last...

    Advice please - Contracting in Qatar

    Rates are very poor, for what i'm into anyway, about a third of what I get in the UK. Something to do with a large supply of cheap Indian labour i think......
