Switching client, but retaining same end customer
Hi, thanks for the replies - no there are no agents involved in this. It would be within same company but more than likely different projects.- Ted

Switching client, but retaining same end customer
Hi, Looking for some advice here on a decision I've got to make. I'm working as a contractor for Client A who provides an offsite service for Customer C. Client B also provides an offsite service for Customer C. Is there anything to stop me at the end of my contract with Client A from moving...- Ted

Training / Upskilling
Going permie is my medium term goal. I'm really only contracting as I was getting overlooked for perm jobs as my CV did not have the skills/qualifications/experience in what would be considered mainstream software tools/languages/etc. My previous job whilst rewarding and allowed me to develop... -

Training / Upskilling
Hi, I've been working just under 1 yr as a contractor - basically a job I managed to get by fluke as I was struggling to get an interview in most places do to my previous experience being in a niche section of development which has left me out of touch with most modern techniques. I've managed... -

VAT & Expenses/Allowances
Hi, Well, I've handed in my accounts to the accountant and he is now working through them prior to me making my first payment. It is at this stage I've realised that maybe I'd be better off on the FRS. He registered me for 20% but said I could switch if it appeared to be better the otherway...- Ted

VAT & Expenses/Allowances
The only incomings to the company are my weekly payments from the customer. The only outgoings so far have been two expenses payments to myself. So far I've not drawn down any salary or pension from the company. I've these kept in a log - not that it is difficult to do. My accountant, who is...- Ted

VAT & Expenses/Allowances
I'm putting my forms into my acocuntant for the first VAT return. I'll be speaking to him about what he wants soon, but I was wondering what (if any) preparation do you guys do before handing them in? I've got all my invoices, expenses etc in order. However, I've not created any spreadsheets...- Ted

Filing Expenses - not drawn any salary yet
I decided to let the last thread die down. My accountant is uncontactable at the minute - I think health reasons. I'm considering changing as he is very hard to get in contact with, but that is another issue. I know that my first set of VAT returns are due soon and I've got some minor...- Ted

VAT & Expenses/Allowances
Hi, I'm doing my first set of VAT Returns and have got a few queries on them. Firstly, the background. The company I contract into (Company A) has in turn got a contract with another separate company (Company B). I was sent to work on their site (Company B) for a period of time and incurred...- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
Am I looking for a rental agreement here or receipts? I've been to see a few places and when I mention either, the home owner or the person renting the room seems to go a bit cool. I guess they can get someone else in without them needing to make people aware of what they are doing. If I did...- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
Thanks - I'll definitely be speaking to my accountant. I'm only been contracting for a few months now so I just want to understand things before I go and get bombarded with accountacy lingo. I suppose at a stretch, I could get a receipt book for the landlord and get them to fill it in for me...- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
I'm based in out the country, but so far, my clients are in the same city. It is 1 hr travel each way mostly congested roads meaning a very early start to avoid - and then the question of leaving early or late to avoid the same on the homeward route. Plus, coming into the long dark winter...- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
I've just read elsewhere that this is allowable if the is claimed for only Mon - Fri - i.e. I commute from my main address on Monday and then back on the Friday. There appears to be no allowance for staying there over the weekend and claiming 5/7 days as it appears to become main residence...- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
Okay, apologies - I've done some digging about this site and it would appear that I can put this through the books if I only stay there Mon - Fri, even if I pay for Sat & Sun.- Ted

Accommodation whilst working
Hi, I've got a contract which requires a 1 hour commute each way daily to their office - it's part of the contract that the work is done on site in a secure environment. The commute is killing me and my car - as well as adding 10+ hours onto my working week. I'm now considering getting...- Ted
