    Forum App or loans one moved to a single resource area? The Belgium one can't relate to that many people but it is very well read and good info in it so would be a shame to lose it.

    I still get a lot of kick backs from the Accountant Recommendation ones so that should stay..










    Am kidding ok!!

    d) If between those two dates you have spent less than 40% of your time at that location, the 24 month rule doesn't apply.

    e) Reassess it weekly in case it changes to over 40%. As soon as it does the 24 month rules will apply.

    Oh to be blessed with such godlike genius and all encompassing knowledge.....
    I have read lots of threads about this but points c to e explain it well relating to this situation. cheers for the reply!

    Absolutely - they can guarantee a return of up to 99% of your gross rate because of the 24 month rule.

    Just send me your bank details and I'll do the rest.

    You could try using the search method as detailed in the Welcome section first. Plenty of discussion on this around.

    This rule has nothing to do with client and is all about location.
