Now Ive just recieved a CT1 form from the Irish Tax Office to pay corp tax. I'm panicing a bit, there is no contact numbers on it and their website doesnt seem...- stuart_75

Santander - cheque clearance
Funny you should say that, I posted a cheque over a week ago and it still doesnt show on my balance. Rang them this morning, and they cant tell me a thing unless it shows on the balance! Usless.- stuart_75

Virgin Media - new rate cut?
This. I've worked for a "master vendor" as a contractor on a perm salary and it sucked donkey balls big time. Bad times ahead for sure.- stuart_75

salary vs contracting rate comparison
I dont think they will go any higher. They have just took a friend of mine on at £250 and he is supplying his own vehicle. I dont have car at the moment that I want to stick loads of miles on (its only a short term contract) so I thought getting the client to provide one would suit me well.- stuart_75

salary vs contracting rate comparison

Blatant advert for role due for an Indian National

The English contractors on £350 a day have all had their rates slashed or been binned. The indians know they are being shafted but once they have gained a perm...- stuart_75

Project People
PP have had their rates squeezed and been paying late. I think a lot of this is to do with the client. IMHO not the geatest telecoms company I've come across.- stuart_75
