Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for a template, or even how to write a contract variation/amendment? I've agreed with the current client an additional deliverable.
I've done the whole CUK Forum Google search thing and tried the IPSE Members resources but didn't have any luck.
It sounds like last night some of the items in the finance bill were voted down in Parliament partly due to the DUP abstaining. Does anyone know if this has had any effect on the upcoming IR35 changes?

I have worked out the costs mentioned, I use InTouch. I guess the question I...
That's pretty much what I am doing, however I'm not sure what to do when it comes to factoring in the cost of such things like travel, food, buying a laptop etc. I realise these are business costs (and in my case genuine expenses), but it's also likely they're costs that I'd have if I were a...
