    A UK national, living in France, contracting to a UK company remotely - possible?

    I retired to France in 2020 having been an IT contractor for several years. However I am now being invited to work for a UK company remotely. I am registered for French tax but am not yet up to speed on the post Brexit situation. I'm not intending to set up companies to handle this - just act as...

    Umbrella: how do I handle this?

    So I have worked through the umbrella for the last 2 years and my contract was terminated last friday. The Unbrella is saying no to furloughing as they cannot afford to do it but are now asking me to give them notice. I was under the impression that if I resign then it could affect benefits...

    State of the Market

    Just my 2c and I'm not trying to be alarmist and if someone wants to persuade me I am wrong then that's fine. The talk of countries relaxing their lockdown rules is cause for real concern. Although the NHS came out today to say that they now had sufficient resources to cope with a Coronavirus...

    Umbrella Company says no to furlough

    Well after 2+ years of doing 'the right thing' and working inside IR35, it looks as though I, and many others, have been shafted. Just got this from my Umbrella - not their fault at the end of the day but the Government that obviously despises contractors regardless of whether they are inside...

    Complete newbie - first time contracting

    Haha, well said from someone who has probably never been on the wrong side of HMRC :) I did follow the .gov website (and several others) and frankly there is zero chance of getting away with it - I know it, they know it, so I'm not going down that road.

    Complete newbie - first time contracting

    I am contracted to work at a specific location with specific start/end times etc - I am to all intents and purposes an 'employee' without the benefits of employment and it would be difficult to prove otherwise. I cannot work from home, it's full time so could not work for anyone else and I...

    Complete newbie - first time contracting

    I have lived overseas for the last 15 years and now returned to the UK and have been offered a job working for a company as a contractor. This will be my first work as a contractor and I have looked at the IR35 rules and whilst I think I might be able to work a way around the IR35 rules I have...
