Glad we established you have no idea about IT contracting, as many of the things your are telling people are wrong. I checked a number of them with my accountants. No wonder you don't want to reveal what industry you work in as it would unmask how little it applies to a lot of IT contracting...- mockedguy

If you work for HMRC then I've sent them a screenshot of you stating you do, and asking for confirmation they have an HMRC Officer officially operating on this site and telling people what the contracting laws are. 42,000+ posts? You obviously have nothing else to do with your life.- mockedguy

Pure hypocrisy, look at what you post. You and a few other regulars are constantly bashing people on here with your own elitist viewpoints, note, VIEWPOINTS, which are not necessarily correct, and are never justified, littered with arrogant, demeaning, personal and condescending comments to...- mockedguy

Precisely, but you, and a few others, are doing exactly that. You are tarring everyone with the same brush. That is the point. Why the f*** would a software developer want to make the long hard effort to become really good at their profession, for a measly £15k pa more take home, than an...- mockedguy

You never answered the question. Seriously, what profession do you work in where contractors and employees are just the same?- mockedguy

There is a big difference between reminding people of that, and actually stating you work for HMRC. I guess we'll find out next time they come along then. And if they do, from a small group of you who are generalising and totally agree with them based on your own individual professions, and...- mockedguy

So what profession do you contract in? I think for some professions what you are saying is quite correct, but for others it definitely isn't.- mockedguy

'Mock' is a technical term used in software development. You must understand nothing about software design, development, testing, devops, etc and are judging that there is no difference between 'contractors' and 'employees'. There is a MASSIVE difference in the skill set and services contractors...- mockedguy

You do realise it is a criminal offence to present yourself as working for the HMRC when you do not? "Adrian Farley, HMRC Assistant Director of Criminal Investigation, said: Impersonating an HMRC officer is a serious criminal offence and we will take action against anyone found committing this...- mockedguy

Out of interest.. you are constantly bashing members with your baseball bat, pushing the govt view, and often in a very condescending/abusive way. Posting constantly throughout business hours, do you have a job? Or is this it? What industry do you work in? And how do you function to meet all...- mockedguy

This is exactly how it has worked for years in IT. Before an agent even puts you up for a role they want to know you have a ltd cpy. Have had that conversation 100s of times. Where have you been? Or are you not in IT?- mockedguy

I doubt if any contractor has ever said to themselves 'I am going to set up a ltd company to avoid paying NI'. Agencies and clients are the ones who have always dictated as a condition to work with them you must have a Ltd Cpy.- mockedguy
