    Corporation Tax Rate Change

    MyCo financial year ended last sept, which means that I have abt nine months to finalise my accounts and pay the CT..The CT rate will be reduced to 20% from April 1, 2011 - Does this mean if I hold on paying the CT until April 2011, I can choose to pay the tax at the reduced rate, thus saving...

    Possibly stupid question about Ltd Co. income after tax but I've got to ask anyway

    Could you please explain the calculation? Here's mine: 15000 - 5715 = 9285 * 0.128 =1188.48 & 15000 - 1188.48 = 13811.52 Once again, please could you elaborate on that? Ta

    How's the bench these days?

    Sorry to hear, mate..but if I may ask, what went wrong?

    Got a contract that's clearly 'inside' - what would you do?

    Good..So, as I said in my reply above (point 1), some agencies maintain IR35 unfriendly versions of the contract, and don't hesitate in forwarding them to us as the first thing while signing a contract...Coming to think of it, I wonder if it is indeed inadvertent :wink As some other posters...

    Contracting while on unpaid leave from my permanent employee

    In all likelihood-No..That's one of the aspects of hiring a contractor-clientco isn't worried abt anything in particular related to a consultant, as long as it doesn't get into the way of the work..Here they might be concerned abt what would happen if they want to extend the contract, and you...

    Contracting while on unpaid leave from my permanent employee

    yes, cause you are an employee, even while on leave..the relevant clause will (most likely) contain wordings like "..during the term of the employment...", which means that you cann't take up work anyplace else, in any way, shape or form, whilst still being employed by your employer.

    Got a contract that's clearly 'inside' - what would you do?

    1. Verify with the agency that they have indeed supplied you with the right contract (for contractors). I was upset when I first saw my last contract, and blasted a senior guy from the agency left & right, the moment I got him on phone, for providing such rubbish contract (That one was even more...

    agencies

    Sorry to hear that.. Welcome :tumble: Oxymorons..Sorry, no such agencies exist.. As some of the replies stated, apply for some jobs matching your skillset and exp, and you will be auto-registered. 1. Lying 2. Misrepresentation 3. Holding back CVs (promising, but not forwarding CVs) 4...

    How are these clauses different

    Thanks Sue, makes sense :hug:

    Action taken by agency on early termination

    Let me generalise your question - "Is Email a valid substitute for signature?" I suppose yes, if the email comes from an identifiable, reliable server, such a company official communicating from his office email account - and so can be uphold in a court, rather than originating from a gmail...

    How are these clauses different

    How/why's that? Is there any such rule which states/implies this? Doesn't every contract/clausefall into this category - words written on a piece of paper, lacking significance until enforced (if needed) by an enforcement agency? It's about working (for our purposes, signing a contract) for...

    How are these clauses different

    A contract I just received contains three (yes) hand-cuff clauses. Although, I don't in general, have an objection to them, (subject to your opinions on 1 & 2 below) but fail to understand how are they (a,b,c below) different.. 1. Does (c) below appear to be an issue, as it prevents me for...

    Right time to start looking for new contract

    I personally start looking about 3-4 weeks before the contract ends. The agencies would generally not be interested in forwarding you before that. Also, start thinking abt how are you going to handle interview requests (telephonic/f2f), while you are still with your current client. F2F ones...

    Contract Offer - Notice

    In general, not, but would depend to a large extent upon the email contents..Does it clearly state all the critical parameters of a contract-rate, start date etc? what if the contract T&Cs (which, I suppose, you haven't seen until now) are too harsh to be acceptable? have you sent them your...
