    Last member of team, migration project - terminate contract

    Thanks all for your advice and wisdom. I have definitely come attached to this inside gig. I was hanging on as it's a decent rate but no point as you have been saying it's ridiculous now my health is suffering.

    HMRC enquiries for Talent Resource Management (TRM) / Cherrylon / Trentburg Schemes

    Contract for Startup - "enabler"

The qualifications can be switched however, consultancies have 6 months to find replacement person to maintain partner status with the vendor. At present they are not bringing anything to the table other than a potential...

    Contract for Startup - "enabler"

    Thanks. Yes I've had the contract reviewed. At the moment the contract states that I can be terminated immediately with no schedule of works so I was looking at either getting this changed or rejecting.

    Loan charge review - Government response is here

    Unfortunately yes to both although I never received when to start paying etc.. I estimate HMRC will owe me money even with the open year. I'll contact my accountant and see if he is willing to advise. Thanks for advice

    Pre-Loan Charge Settiement Pre-Loan Charge Settiement Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I agreed on a settlement plan for 2006 - 2009 years (1 open year) back in October 2019 however, HMRC wrote to me regarding the review taking place so never started making payments. Since then...
