Flat Rate VAT scheme
Could you do me a favour? I've got notice 733 as a hard copy stuck to my wall here. I haven't bothered to check it on line. I just posted the link. Could you cut and paste it here. It'll stop the discussion about 11.5. etc. (Can't be bothered to do it myself on a Staurday) Cheers. Customs: How... -

Flat Rate VAT scheme
VAT rate VAT rate I pop in here every recession and the advice is the usual: some good and some sarky. I'm not sure how a lot of you are paying around 11 percent... -

Handling Dividends
monthly divs monthly divs I'm not saying it's right or wrong. You've hit upon the problem with dividends. It's suppose to be a distribution of profits so those contractors trading in their first year realistically shouldn't be declaring dividends. You are trying to be a proper business (or...- partimer

Take home pay on 95k
not a fact not a fact Don't want to start an argument but IR35 is not dead. Don't say it's a fact unless they strike it off legally. The inspectors may treat it as a low priority but it don't mean IR35 has evaporated from the law books. All it takes is Fatboy Gordon to hit a bad spot...- partimer

6,000 posts!
would you believe it would you believe it I disappear from these boards for six months and come back ... AtW has 6k posts. All we need is Milan asking who is working today and everything will be the same :) MF, Last time I was here your baby had that accident with granny in Bath. I hope she... -

Mmmmn
plan B plan B Ignore the rest. I think anybody trying to make a successful business is to be commended. Better than staying on one contract for 5 years (though not as profitable). That's why I don't tease AtW or Milan about their "plan b"s. Risking it all. Watch the programs. How did plan b... -

Two invoices in a month, one inside and one outside IR35
ir35 rubbish ir35 rubbish This shows the stupid IR35 at its worst. It's been a while but I vaguely remember that my accountant use to advise me to ring fence IR35 money separate from non-IR35 money. This meant expenses that occured whilst doing IR35 stuff came from that fund and dividends came...- partimer

Subsistence claims and receipts
yet again yet again I think you'll find that the person you spoke to at the IR probably thought you were the Brolly and not the end tax payer. As with all dealings with Hector, the onus is always on you to prove everything. The quickest way is a receipt. It's also the only time when you are...- partimer

Weekly / Monthly payment
paying weekly paying weekly I have rarely seen weekly payments from any agency simply because they are acting as factoring agents. This means a weekly schedule would incur more admin costs and even worse, the agent may not get paid for a very long time whilst they have already paid you. One...- partimer

No Contract
ir35 ir35 I agree that a notice period is useless if you are outside IR35. Would you really expect to pay a company for doing nothing ? You're trying to be a business in your own right (the objective of every contractor - or should be !). Behave like one. On the point of MOO. Tricky one. I...- partimer

First Contract Help
total mess total mess I believe there was a change some time ago where the government got burnt by hiring illegal immigrants as cleaners, etc. As a result new laws were introduced to put the onus on agencies to screen this sort of thing out (you don't expect the government to sort it out). As...- partimer

Still haven't got a new contract
pulling our legs again pulling our legs again Don't we do this every year? Kind of ironic having said what we said on the other forum. I'm sure something will turn up for you, like it has done in previous years. Like I always say, it's what we signed up to when we became a business. The... -

Becoming a manager for a few extra quid a day
ambition ambition Depends on the individual. If you have ambition, etc. then a managerial position is the first step to better things. Most contractors prefer to be a techie and avoid climbing the corporate ladder. Having said that if you are a genuine manager you should be setting direction... -

That bint whats in debt
it's not fair it's not fair I think you will find that a bank put a gun next to her head and said take out one of our loans. Another bank then put another gun to the other side of her head and said take one of our buy-to-let mortgages. To add insult to injury the NHS locked her up with her...
