I assume it'll be in Bangkok? Considering that the rush hour traffic is a lot worse than in London, you should either live close to where you'll work or if the it's is close to a sky train station you can just make sure that you live close to a sky train station too. Sky train is more or less...- holsson

www.quayaccounting.com Any experience of good or bad?
But reviewing the contracts for IR35 issues etc isn't part of the standard package from most accountants as far as I saw when I was looking around... Myself, I went to Qdos to review my first contracts, though I might try Bauer and Cotrell for my next since they seem to get a lot of praise for...- holsson

Sweden aims for oil-free economy
Very true, one of the few things I miss from Sweden! Never been as cold indoors in Sweden as I have in the UK :) Though, Sweden can manage it even easier than that, if they were willing to sacrifice some more rivers it could get enough energy from water power to power most of the country I believe. -

Sweden aims for oil-free economy
I don't know how many go there to work, but I've heard that there used to be quite a few cases of Balts and Poles going to Sweden to get in to prison, apparently the prison wages were fairly good in Sweden and with free food and lodgings they could save up quite a bit of money to bring home when... -

Qdos consulting have a freelance club, that's just £25 +VAT per year, and then you can send in up to 3 contracts per year for IR35 assessment. You'll only get a Fail or a Pass result though, if you want more details you'll have to pay more. -

Ltd Co or umbrella Co for newbie contractor
1st Accountancy 1st Accountancy From my first weeks experience I'd recommend Darren. I just started contracting a few weeks ago and I've asked quite a lot of questions that have all been answered quickly (the slowest email response has been a few hours) with good explanations. Can't compare it...
