    Uk inflation accelerates as imports cost more

    I am most likely wrong (said it myself so I limit the bashing I get) but I personally can see inflation going pretty high over the next 2-4 years. If I was a betting man, I would expect IT TO HIT 2% spring next year, and then for it to hit 6 or 7% maybe 2019 or 2020 as the bank of England...

    Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

    In risk of this turning into another tail eating snake.... 1) Rules now state that end client makes decision of IR35 in or Out 2) If need be, they use the new tool - with HMRC saying they will honour the result 3) If client is willing to create a SCD cover letter, and therefore also tick the...

    The End of Britain

    Thats the crux of the problem... its a big circle jerk of lies.... a) Politicians need to be popular to get voted in b) Politicians get voted in c) Reports come out... less people are having kids to pay future tax, people living longer, more people need benifits of every kind, need more social...

    Results of the public sector consultation is up

    As expected this thread has degenerated in to a useful discussion of what the rules mean, how ambiguous they are, the unintended consequences, and how to get around the rules. There you go, FIFY

    SO now we are geting down to it - No D&C. So Bob plumber - Told to fix this, he does it how he sees it should be done. Job done when water stops gushing. He owns Bobs Plumbers. He does the work himself. Tim the Contractor - told to develop login screen, he does it how he sees it should...

    The PS, IR35 and GCloud

    And I go back to my old question of what is a deliverable? Their definition in the example is a web site. But that's just code, how is that different from... 1) A software package which calculates revenue 2) A data warehouse delivered which stores x data in a series of tables 3) A project...

    Results of the public sector consultation is up

    I was asked an interesting question by a PS client just now...... will this effect their 'casual professional help'. This body uses small one man band companies for things like.. heating services, plumbing repairs, servicing lifts, gardening and the like. The type of "Bobs Plumbing...

    The PS, IR35 and GCloud

    What? The Jasmine example is all about framework and work practices - You provide a product or service off site rather than a day rated bum on seat in front of a clients computer, and it clearly (currently) says using the tool, it will be outside IR35. And the GC or DOS framework will be the...

    The PS, IR35 and GCloud

    Eek, which question is that exactly? I did not spot it in the code.

    The PS, IR35 and GCloud

    The details are that one of my PS clients is looking to offer me some work through GCloud... but no point in going down this route if it does not work. In terms of the 'have you done this before' the answer will be a yes. Oh, and the client is offering to help set me up as a company in...

    1.5x rate difference in same team (same role, direct vs agancy)

    I work with 4 other contractors (well, one (a useless one) has just left), and I have found out that whilst we do the same job, I am the lowest paid of the bunch. Now it could be that I did not negotiate when I started... but I view it this way... 1) I am happy with the rate I am getting...

    HMRC off payroll decision service

    I did not see the MOO - is it in the code? Can somebody cut/paste... of course as I type this, I realise that whatever the code looks like then, does not mean thats what the code and matrix looks like now, or what it will be come April. Doh
