Handcuff clause, opted in, advice required
At first I wasnt sure whether this is a serious discussion. How do you explain a discussion between a northern lady, northern lad and a b/b*stard? And how does JMO fit into it?? Nevertheless, here's my 2 pence' worth - As the role is not available through Agency A, I do not see how they can...- muser

HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) Payroll Changes
He advised me to switch from weekly to monthly salary. SandyD - Under the new system, you need to report each salary to HMRC every time it is paid. If you pay yourself weekly wages, that would mean 52 submissions per year!- muser

HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) Payroll Changes
Hi All, Has anyone been notified by their accountant about the Revenue's changes to how PAYE information is reported. A copy and paste from the HMRC website - "In April 2013, employers must start sending PAYE information to HMRC in real time. This means sending details to HMRC every time you...- muser

Pension - why do I bother?!?!?
OP - I did the same review a couple of weeks ago and reached the same conclusion as you. All projections seems to be pointing the wrong way. Annuities: Make it all add up in retirement - Pensions - Money - The Independent The FSA action will help but dont expect it to turn things around for...- muser

I just need to get two references ...
I got a call earlier today from an agent guy who seemed more interested in the rate I was getting for my last role. When I didnt offer the info, he assumed 'x' based on the sector. Then he told me about some other role which offers less. I said I'd be ok to be considered for the role. He said...- muser

Stupidity beyond belief re: tax from family member
I reckon you need to have a heart-to-heart with the old man. If your bruv gets out of this lightly, given the profile you portrayed, he will do it again and perhaps on a larger scale. Some families do 'ave 'em :-) I have someone close to me that makes your bruv looks like a role model. Tough... -

Return to Previous Employer for Contract Opportunity
The statement above is not true. OP - You need to speak to a specialist like Bauer & Cottrell. I recommend them because I have used their services several times last year. My argument against NLUK's statement is this - You could return to an ex-employer as a contractor after 5+ years but if...- muser

What does it take to become a Recruitment Consultant?
All, I just had a conversation with an agency bloke which almost knocked me off my chair. [after hello, formalities....] Agency: Listen, my client require someone with insurance background. I see from your CV that your last contract is with ABC Insurance Ltd, Leeds. Agency: Is it fair to say...- muser

Dividends and salary
Let's try this simple model for size and see if it works... Arab Ltd is a company that trades and gets paid for its services. A separate legal entity. Arab Ltd (like all company) requires 3 different kinds of people/roles to operate. Business Owner, Director and worker(s). So there are Arab...- muser

Dividends and salary
I am baffled. Has Mrs Arab hacked into Arab's account to post these questions? Assuming that is not the case, I can also understand why the Accountant was being *seen* as evasive. What these questions show is that if HMRC ever decides to conduct an audit, the odds would be good that you'll get...- muser
