I have no idea what you mean - read the post carefully and you'll see that it never mentions text, only tax

Why are you closing one company, to pay more tax, then start another one up?

Confused.

Have a search if you really want umbrella companies - it's been asked goodness knows how many times before, including a couple of times this week.

Nothing like that, just did'nt want to have the hassle of starting up another company until the other one was dead and buried.

Think I'll speak to my accountant and see what he thinks too. Thanks again

Any reason why? I can't see any reason not to start using a new Ltd straight away rather than go Brolly for a few months before starting the new Ltd.

Unless there is more to this than meets the eye.

Assuming you mean March 2008, most people that know seem to suggest Parasol for a short haul gig. Watch out for escape clauses and the like that some of the brollies try to use to retain your business.

But if you accept you're inside IR35 anyway, why not set the company up and use that immediately. It's still cheaper than any brolly's fees.

That was quite a nice reply for you Mal
