    PAYE and VAT

    I would say depends on clientcos business. If you are working for say a oil company they will pay VAT and therefore they dont care about the VAT they pay you because they deduct it. Financial firms might be different as they dont charge VAT on the services they provide (most). So if your VAT...

    Murray Group (Rangers) tax case - decision today?

    Signing Contract before background check

    This one doesn't, they won't let you onsite until the check is complete. But the agent is pushing for the contract to be signed. Contract says in it subject to the background check being passed.
