HMRC letter re: Overdue PAYE returns on dissolved ltd
FYI, I rang HMRC today and they said one of their systems is sending the letters out incorrectly, and to ignore it. Thanks all!- facboy

HMRC letter re: Overdue PAYE returns on dissolved ltd
Hi all, Haven't been around for several years now as I made the dubious transition into permiedom about 4 years ago. I had a ltd which was dissolved and I claimed Entrepreneur's Relief...specifically it was dissolved on 31/05/2011. Today the ltd received a letter from HMRC stating that it had...- facboy

Boom!
agree...i don't see why HR would care one jot about answering questions carefully. what is the downside to them?- facboy

Advice on working with RBS?
no, no slang. actual baking contests. ok they wouldn't actually bake the cakes at the office, they would bake them at home, and then bring them in and they would have taste tests and judges. truly bizarre. i thought my mate was joking when he told me, but he wasn't. think he baked a flan or...- facboy

Advice on working with RBS?
i dunno, i know a few who have worked at RBS and none of them enjoyed it. as for slackers, my mate contracted there for 2 1/2 years, and for 18 months of it his team literally did no work. they were dependent on some project that was perpetually two weeks away from completion. they used to...- facboy

Roles and experience
agree with wikir etc...don't believe in exaggerating or lying on the CV, but by all means apply for the jobs. worst thing that can happen is that they say no. you know, most job descriptions you look at (hell, even ones that you write) are wishlists. you'd *love* if you found a person who...- facboy

Returning to perm is almost impossible
wish my missus earned a big salary...i have enjoyed being a kept man for the last 4 months (well actually just slowly emptying the warchest). having said that, it's good to keep a proper perspective on things, i think in london it's quite easy to get a warped view of the world because of all...- facboy

Anyone worked with Morgan Stanley?
MS are in lots of agents, every agent that rings me up has jobs from them. they take ages to make a decision i was told, 6-7 weeks from first interview to final decision is not unusual. i think 650-700 would be pretty out there...would want to be front office, and you'd want to be a perfect...- facboy

Returning to perm is almost impossible
i've actually just taken a permie job over a couple of good contract offers, one to go back to old clientco (4 month break) for 20% more, and one to a new client for 30% more. kind of bizarre, permieco have been aware all along that i'm a contractor, even told them in interview, 'i'd rather be...- facboy

Returning to perm is almost impossible
ok great, cheers for that. think i'm going to take the permie job...i calculated that after pension/benefits, i might lose about 2-3% of my full contract rate in nov last year, and that's assuming i work around 45 weeks at that rate. almost a no-brainer. admittedly i've been offered rates...- facboy

How much salary do you take from your Ltd?
for what it's worth, my 'IR35 cover' guys won't cover you if it's under 10k, and prefer it over 15k. my understanding is that it's not about standing up to scrutiny, it's about avoiding it altogether. they are not keen for myco to be investigated (and neither am i, funnily enough), not because...- facboy
