"Could you take a quick look at this?" aka DAC during contracts
No, which is why from the get go I arrange to have assignments as specific as possible. But having worked for several clients now (though not contracting for too long compared to most here), they also act mostly alike so I thought it must be something that people here often come up against, so...- Devinity

"Could you take a quick look at this?" aka DAC during contracts
Then the question would be: would a more flexible contract that doesn't mention a specific project (but still relatable to your skill), with the assumption that you're happy to work on project X, Y or even Z, then be problematic from HMRC's perspective?- Devinity

"Could you take a quick look at this?" aka DAC during contracts
Am wondering how most IT contractors here deal with clients who like to think that they are hiring temporary employee devs who they can get to jump onto different projects as they see fit. So far, it's been my opinion that from a DAC point of view, for a fixed-length of time contract it's best...- Devinity

Splitting a contract based on projects
My issue was, at this stage, they don't know what project B is, so the contract is effectively stating "some work TBD".

Splitting a contract based on projects
Taking the plunge in moving over from an umbrella to MyCo and have received a contract from a client I am looking to work with directly.

Whilst the main contract doesn't tie any of the clauses to the opted-out status, it does state in a one-liner that I have agreed to opt-out and have signed an agreement to that effect.- Devinity

Negotiating restriction / handcuff clause
By clear, I mean that it simply requires an authorised timesheet + invoice from me / umbrella for payment to be made. There is no stated requirement for the client to have paid (which I took to the be important part from remaining opted-in).- Devinity

Negotiating restriction / handcuff clause
Hi all, first post :) I've been sent through a contract from an agent for a rapidly approaching contract (starts Tuesday). This includes both an opt-out form and the contract itself. According to the covering email we had previously discussed about me opting out, which is news to me ;) I've...- Devinity
