    Yet Another IR35 Question

    Direct me to the legal definition in legislation. Not the accepted usage in pseudo legal circles When I get a fo0rm asking me if I am a PSC I will tick no..........there is no such legal construct

    Yet Another IR35 Question

    And YOU are the most egotistical self important ee3jit I have ever met, in real life or in cyberspace. You are a **** wit of the highest order. You know jack tulip about what you claim to. I suspect you failed in a previous enterprise and took up IT and now feel put out that others manage to...

    Opting in\out

    disagree disagree No, you have what is in your contract with the agency which is a legal document that can be pursued through the court system. Ok, pain in the ass, but there is redress (as I have just discovered). And as for opting out or in making no difference. Hmmmm, certainly in the...

    Returning to work via a diff agent

    Well........ Well........ Dunno. But I have have a CHAPS payment going through tomorrow. Several solicitors letters, me walking off site and other threats achieved nothing. Payment was confirmed 12 hours after someone in the PCG talked to someone in Atsco who talked to (I believe...

    Returning to work via a diff agent

    No, but a 12 month restraint on a 4 month contract is highly likely to be thrown out anyway if they tried to sue me under it. I have it from a director of the agency in question that they know they should pay me even before the client pays but thats not the way they work so "what am I going to...

    Do decent agents exist? where???

    Which was my point (2) Agencies either cant or wont do this. Which it is I dont know. Until they can be convinced to do this, I see no easy solution.

    Do decent agents exist? where???

    Imho........ Imho........ Its a case of this: 1. Agents get hastle from the client due to IR35 inspections 2. Agents cant or wont give true IR35 free contracts 3. Agents are under pressure to stop the hastle in (1) above 4. Hence they want to pay more attention to how we are paid (even...

    Do decent agents exist? where???

    So............ So............ Yes we all pay the relevant amount of tax. But what you seem to want to ensure, in a round about way, is that none of your contractors operate outside IR35. Would you deal with a limited company contractor rather than one using a brolly? If so, would you...

    Female perspective....... Female perspective....... We're not all money grabbing bitches If you have done wrong - i.e. shagged around, beat her up etc - then yes she will try to take you to the cleaners and quite rightly. If not, and there are no kids, I would hazard a guess not. I speak as...

    Rates and PAYE

    It is not just the bank............ It is not just the bank............ 1. Some agencies are now stsrting to say you must use their brolly which will only pay you PAYE. 2. Others are insisting on the same as the bank. they are selling themselves to the client as being able to "guarantee that...

    David Davies made an average speech today

    or......... or......... Or if you want to be treated like an adult, allowed to choose how to live your life and spend your hard earned cash as you see fit, rather than how someone tells you you should spend it, do not vote for the socialist labour party. Granted the idiots, fools, halfwits...
