What goes around...what? He'll have a 3 month paid holiday during the "consultion period" followed by a nice hefty payout. When the business is restructured in any way, of course roles and responsibilities of supporting roles become unclear. What goes around indeed; perhaps it'll be your turn...- SomeoneElse

Switzerland
So did the guys who have contracted in there just go through the normal channels (agent contacts/jobserve)? Once you got a contract, did you then apply for the work permit? I.E is it sort of like the US in that you need a "sponsor"? Cheers- SomeoneElse

Sorry to resurrect, but am looking to move to Zurich in the near future and a good few of you seem to have a handle on life in Switzerland. From my googling, the permit system seems to have ended in May 2007 but I can't find any up-to-date info: can EU members now settle and gain employment...- SomeoneElse

BN66 - Time to fight back!!!
The level of denial from some of you staggers me (Brillo Pad in particular). Seriously guys; there is no way you will win this one - your interpretation of the right and wrong of it is irrelevant; it's now law. It's not time to "fight back" you hopeful, simple-minded dolts - it's time to...- SomeoneElse

BN66 - Time to fight back!!!
Re-read my post. You'll note I ask "What does this mean for you all..." It would be reasonable to then deduce, via inference, that I was not affected, yes? For reference I run a ltd company. I would expect in a civilised country to have clear, concise tax law, not such a convoluted mess such...- SomeoneElse

On a personal level, what does this mean for you all if HMRC do win? Holding off on that new car, or complete financial ruin? The tax law in this country is pathetic; very uncivilised.- SomeoneElse

Newbie to the UK and Contracting
Another Aussie here. Go to one of the accountants and go ltd (I'm with SJD and have found them to be adequate). Also, consider making a booking now for your national insurance number application interview - when I came over, it was over a month until a spot was free. Feel free to PM.- SomeoneElse

Bank of America (UK)
I haven't heard this from anyone else, and I would have thought it'd have made a news article somewhere. Do you have a link? As to the money not being with the big banks is rubbish. A 10% cut on 650pd is still miles ahead of comms/law/ins in the same(ish) role.- SomeoneElse
