All Government roles to be 60% on-site

Umbrella or not to Umbrella?
Thanks eek - that's very useful. I'm hoping to max out on pensions so will be much more than £700. It would be great if you get a chance to show your working, please?- supersteamer

Umbrella or not to Umbrella?
Thanks - yes, that's the case here. I do (at least for now) have other work coming into my Ltd Company so I already have the overhead of keeping it going anyway. I'm reluctant to add an Umbrella too, unless the savings from salary sacrifice are meaningful enough to cover the Umbrella margin and...- supersteamer

Umbrella or not to Umbrella?
OK, I'm in a similar position to the OP and I have tried thinking about it, but my brain is small and perhaps you could elaborate further? I already have a Ltd company and have been offered some inside IR35 work. If I take it my pension options seem to be Use Umbrella that allows Salary...- supersteamer

The last thread I started was about NOT using myCo equipment on an Umbrella contract which was the very antithesis of fraud (playing strictly by the rules) but was shouted down for being ridiculous. Seems that when querying any regulation any smidgen over-lenient interpretation is considered...- supersteamer

Yeah, ok, last line was just an attempt at levity which fell flat. But the rest stands: it is very much standard practice for properties to be let on a monthly basis. Renting such a property is not an attempt at fraud, it is due to the nature of the rental market. Eh? Make what easier?- supersteamer

Disallowing accommodating house guests or travel for highly speculative purposes seems entirely reasonable. Disallowing rentals that include weekends seems somewhat impractical. Whilst you may get the occasional private landlord who can accommodate this, trying to persuade a high street...- supersteamer

Hmmm. Reading this, that decision doesn't appear to be based on him paying for weekends (or whatever days it is actors don't work!) but rather "As accommodating friends and family was not a business purpose, the fact that the three bedroom flat cost no more than a hotel was not material to the...- supersteamer

Is BIK for the "it's available at the weekend" really a thing? Any record of it being enforced? The few times I've rented a flat I've never tried to pay only Monday-Friday. It was a big enough ordeal just getting somewhere to stay without negotiating weird contract terms: letting agents...- supersteamer

Not going to work. I might be in my office eating my company owned apple and then have to go out to the kitchen to work on my brolly contract. By the time I get back it will be all brown and horrible.- supersteamer

I can't ask my accountant. They only do work for myCo, so can't advise on what I should be doing as employee of BrollyCo.- supersteamer
