If you just want to save tax, have all your gross earnings directed to me, I will pay you the equivalent of your tax coding therefore you will have no tax to pay and you have achieved your goal in minimising the tax that YOU have to pay. I will take on the worry of all the other tax Sorted.
Seriously, have a look at the PCG guides, if you intend on contracting for any decent length of time then go for a limited company solution and get yourself an accountant. Plenty on here and all recommended.

If someone can please advice me with an example on how to save maximum tax on a contract of £500 per day for 12 months. Please start by telling me whether to get the contract on a limited company or as self-employed. Then how much salary to take and how much dividend, etc. Also if need be shall I employ my spouse as an employee, expenses, etc.
Thanking in advance,
Cheers
You are diver and I claim my crispy £5.

Much easier to ask in post 1 for a complete explamnation of everything tailored to their case, then get huffy when told to RTFM.Last edited by expat; 19 May 2008, 15:20.

1. Click this link: nice picture
2. In the CUK Navigation box on the right hand side of the screen there is a link that says "First Timers" click it and read all the information in that section.
3. Then if you go to http://www.pcg.org.uk/ on the menu on the left hand side of the screen there is a menu item called "New to Freelancing" click it and read the page. Feel free to download any PDF that you feel is relevant and read it.
4. Then read all the information again.
5. Then come back to this forum and read the threads with sticky's on at the top of the forum index.
6. Then if you feel you have a question use the search box. There is a link that says search in it - you click it and put in a combination of words. If the first combination of words doesn't produce any results but in another combination.
Then perhaps a nice mod will make it sticky.
