    Claiming expenses under brolly in IR35

    I have used a little effort but wanted more clarity. I'd hope that when you post on here responses can be less condemning of the person who is asking and their 'misapprehensions'. This is why I'm asking the question in the first place. I understand it's impossible to give black and white answers...

    Claiming expenses under brolly in IR35

    If SDC does not apply, then you will probably have to claim back tax via your SATR. I'm not sure what you mean when you say claim "straight through your end client". Unless your contract stipulates that your client reimburses you for expenses (pretty unusual, but not unheard of) then your...

    Claiming expenses under brolly in IR35

    Thanks - hard to get a helpful answer round here as so many people are super smug putting off anyone newer to contracting from commenting

    Claiming expenses under brolly in IR35

    Hi, I'm about to start a new temp contract closer to home and on more money so want to get off to a good start and make life easier for myself. I'm also going to be shareholder in my partner's Ltd company for the first time so not sure if this complicates things or just means I have to do a self...

    Claiming mileage under my brolly and SDC

    Hi, I'm with Danbro now which has been more flexible that my previous Brolly (limited choice through the agency) but on every mileage claim I need to include the following, "My attendance at the current workplace under this assignment will not last for more than 24 months. I understand that if...

    Is there an umbrella company where you can choose your pension and other benefits?

    AVC? AVC? I've just been enrolled into NEST on minimum contributions so about to ask them (umbrella.co.uk - didn't choose them - limited list of bad/have-to-do eggs) if I can contribute more. What's AVC I wanted to ask? Also, how do I know whether I'm better off going through them to...

    Short and disappointing preferred supplier list and SDC

    Thanks - I tried and failed to get them to open up from their preferred supplier list. The job was beginning the next morning so I just went along with the best of a bad bunch.

    Short and disappointing preferred supplier list and SDC

    I am hopefully going to begin a short term contract next week as a manager over 2 sites. I spoke with the agency today and hoped that Contractor Umbrella would be on their list, but instead there is Umbrella, Giant, JSA and Parasol. From searching this forum they are all ones to avoid - but is...

    Any independent social workers out there? Help re tax and options.

    Thank you - I was hoping that would be the case.

    Any independent social workers out there? Help re tax and options.

    Good to know. I will be saying no to the far away contracts for peanuts then. Unless they can offer a much better rate. Or try for third sector roles...

    As sticky a situation as when Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun. I see. Thanks :)

    Any independent social workers out there? Help re tax and options.

    Hi there, I am new to this forum (go easy!) and have been avidly reading the threads on IR35. I have worked for a charity for a number of years and now i'm facing redundancy I am considering short term contracts to give some flexibility and variety. From reading on this forum, I am thinking...
