How to handle a 250 mile round trip to work fortnightly on an Inside IR35 contract?
As needs must, I have just signed an Inside IR35 contract which stipulates that I must be in the office one day a fortnight. The journey is about 140 miles each way of mostly motorway driving but estimates on Google maps state between 2 hours 30 mins and 2 hours 50 mins. Taking the train is...- Tractor Trace

How Low Can You Go?
Have any of you ever considered, or even done, a regular long commute on an Inside IR35? When I say "long", I mean at least 1hr 30 mins one way .- Tractor Trace

How Low Can You Go?
I know there must be loads of threads about this. With the current market as it is, I'd be interested to know how much percentage day rate drop or other previous deal breakers some of you have had to make recently in order to close that widening gap between time on the bench and securing a gig...- Tractor Trace

Client Requesting I schedule meetings with their customer
This may seem like a minor point for IR35 but will ask anyway. My end client has asked me to schedule and therefore take ownership of a fortnightly meeting with their customer. I know this is an administrative task but will this blur the lines of being an independent contractor outside IR35...- Tractor Trace

Recruitment Agencies Plugging IR35 Insurance
There's basically a clause written in my contract stating the contractor indemnifying the agency and client on demand from and against any costs, liabilities or expenses arising from HMRC challenging the client's status determination. No mention of a substitution clause either...- Tractor Trace

Recruitment Agencies Plugging IR35 Insurance
Has anyone experienced recruitment consultants trying to push for IR35 insurance on a contract? Without naming any names I have been offered an Outside IR35 contract with an end client who is a medium- large sized company so technically I would not carry the liability. However, agent keeps...- Tractor Trace

What is the most effective excuse to immediately terminate a contract?
Thanks for all your responses so far. I agree that citing personal issues affecting my ability to workin in an email directly to the agent is the best way forward. The only issue is on returning my IT equipment which the client does have my contact details for. I am concerned that by having...- Tractor Trace

What is the most effective excuse to immediately terminate a contract?
By immediate termination should I therefore expect to lose all money owing to me for not effectively working the 1 week's notice? Do I contact the agency directly rather than the client? I also have a contract with the umbrella company but assuming that this would still hold and would I need to...- Tractor Trace

What is the most effective excuse to immediately terminate a contract?
I know many on here will berate me for considering a very unethical, non business approach to terminating a contract. However, I have anxiety issues, which recently resurfaced again a week and a half into a new, very stressful contract and which is making concentrating and my ability to do my...- Tractor Trace
