    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    In the interest of time, and having the umbrella co chasing me and asking for an email approval, I replied that I accept the contract, with the rate being £400 as agreed with CapG. I think that'll do for now, as there is a trail.

    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    So what you're suggesting is change the contract on my end and then sign it and send it back? If that was so simple, what did they not do it?

    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    I would take the £400 and anchor a meeting date to see what's the best they can offer, since they have good feedback about my work. Otherwise I would be free to submit my one month's. I would settle for £400 though in the end if "there is no budget". It's a tough area to be in, with long...

    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    The whole £500 point was so that we could settle at around £430-450 or so, knowing from an insider that CapG is on a "hefty margin". Granted, they might want to keep that margin, but what good is it if I leave? Sadly, I am going to keep the contract even on £400 tbh, especially in this economy...

    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    I believe I can negotiate even higher as my performance and feedback have been excellent. I just wanted a second opinion on the disorganization and renegotiation part. Again, the £400 was unilateral. The "I thought we agreed on £400" was a really random quote, we never discussed numbers prior...

    Client wants me to sign on the old rate, and discuss after Christmas

    I spent 6 months with CapG, at a rate of £360pd inside IR35. They said that the end client wants to renew me, and I said that I want to revisit my rate. One day the client account manager wasn't there, the other something else happened...and I followed up again. They said that they thought we...

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    That's a good quote! That example makes sense, thanks. Although, based on what people say, HMRC is notorious for trying to bring everyone closer to inside IR35.

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    I guess, the question then becomes, "who does IR35 apply to?".

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    Yes, the company is what you would classify a "global company" really, with HQ in Amsterdam, and an office of circa 200 people in London. The contract just happens to be with the Dutch entity. Again, I know that using a PSC, in this case the end client makes a status determination, I just can't...

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    Tax aside, I see that it's unclear whether such a case would have to have an IR35 determination.

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    It's a generalization, in case the end client deemed that the contract falls outside IR35 for all intends and purposes, despite the company being based offshore. The question still remains. Would the end client still need to make an IR35 assessment? Unless you mean, utilizing an EU company as a...

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    Agent and client are non-UK. I don't think they care where the PSC is based TBH.

    Offshore client, UK resident, EU Ltd, IR35?

    Corp tax will be paid to the country where the Ltd is registered. Any declared dividends will have to be taxed in the UK, by the UK bands (7.5%, 32.5% etc). Will the IR35 status even apply to me as the company director? That's the question.
