Consultation on IR35 reforms in the private sector
No Surprise... No Surprise... Why surprised? Most contractors fall into that group of being the last to think about IR35. If they think about it then it's usually an oh well I'll meet that when it comes, with as much understanding as they have about how much tax they actually do pay now...- independancerocks

Disclosure Scotland Delays at who's coat?
Yes indeed....and I always have access to sensitive information. For those interested the Disclosure Scotland completed in a fraction under four weeks so lucky they applied the day after accepting the role! Over and out.- independancerocks

oh yes, some most definitely do; but thanks for your mis-informed certainty. Next thing you'll be telling me is that contracts can't be changed!- independancerocks

Am I Mad?
Three months is definitely too long. If you get an offer or two ( for roles you are unlikely to take) your confidence will rocket and your question will be answered allowing you to resign.

Agree about agent being spanner logic needs to added (as per below post). Other than that I totally agree with this. Unfortunately in this case this code didn't run, hence OP note about pressure due to need for the income. Nevertheless, time to run the code as the arguments do not change!- independancerocks

Last three Telco contracts have all requested DS with no start, until it's complete, although good advice elsewhere here about formally requesting a waiver to start. This would likely depend somewhat on the Business urgency/risk. I.e. if it's not deemed urgent it might be difficult to get the...- independancerocks

So, a certain contractor agreed to three weeks delay to process vetting and Disclosure Scotland. They had all details within 24 hours.
