    State of the Market

    Currently on £360pd :laugh inside IR35. This is half of what my second client was back in 2022. But, it pays the bills so I can't complain much, in this economy too. Me->Indian Agency->Indian consultancy->UK bank. I would think the UK bank is paying something like £800pd.

    But when did the stockmarket follow any logic though? See Covid time, 2013... etc

    State of the Market

    Pretty quiet at the moment. It should be picking up about...now, i.e. the last 5-10 days of Jan, and it hasn't. I usually start my contracts in mid-Feb. I think the market is quite quiet in anticipation of how the global economy will move overall. I wouldn't expect companies to start investing...

    EU Ltd for EU clients?

    I've been contracting for many years now, and as with many things, when you start from zero with no guidance at all, it's only natural to want to explore your options. Then again some people might be happy with not exploring any option, ever (might as well be an inside ir35 or perm!). There's...

    EU Ltd for EU clients?

    It's not through a UK agent actually, it's from own connections, and via an EU agency. An issue to what though? I think an agent not working with an offshore Ltd is one thing, tax treatment is another... I think I'll have to speak to an accountant to clarify taxation and eligibility criteria.

    EU Ltd for EU clients?

    The question still remains though: will the Cypriot Ltd incur a 25% corp tax?

    EU Ltd for EU clients?

    So a Cypriot company will take 25% corp tax (come Apr 2023) and treated as a UK company?

    EU Ltd for EU clients?

    Is it worth creating and maintaining an offshore Ltd company to invoice EU clients, if I'm based in the UK, running costs aside? I get 50% of my clients in EU these days and I wondered. if it's worth the hustle, and if not, why. I can still invoice my UK clients from my UK ltd. Corp tax...

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    I mean you'd never say "because I need to pay more taxes", you just ask for an increase. If you need to justify, you mention the value you add and the market rates. That should suffice.

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    The agent told me that they've discussed this with the end client and that this increase is in line with inflation and other increases across the board of contractors. I don't think the increase was always there as I have asked in the past and they had said that this was the max price. It's also...

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    Thank you all for your input. I just managed a rate increase of 7%! So, to anyone who is reading this, there is hope and, as always, you don't ask-you don't get. Ask and thou might get!

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    I define "easy money" as in they can put the legislation in place and get the money -tomorrow. No push backs whatsoever and still ends up in gov's pocket. Of course, that's always the consequence of high taxation; less spending and more money under the table/corruption.
  13. S

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    Both good points, thanks. Do you really feel that we might see changes still until Apr 23? To me, the change to 25% seems like "easy money" for the gov, as in "it was going to happen anyway" and not a whole lot happened when it was announced in the first place.
  14. S

    Will you increase the rate come 25% on corp tax in 2023?

    Just gauging the collective thinking. Will you try to increase your rate or absorb the corp tax increase?
