Permanent to Contracting

[NotAllThere]

okie thank you very much for the replies , then i will search for new contracting job then. ...

Why? If you work as a contractor for your current employer, at a higher take rate than as an employee (Say at 8x£40 = £320 a day, instead of the £230 BlasterBates calculate), you've benefitted rather nicely, even with IR35.

Can you get £320 a day from another client?

[BlasterBates]

£230 a day to get the same take home inside IR35

A conversion is given here:

You need though to add a bit for expenses and so on, but that gives you a rough guide. If you have travelling expenses I would say then you definitely need the 300+ but commutable from home then say £250-300. The main big expense is travelling expenses.

1. As a rule of thumb your Hourly rate x 1000 = equivalent permie salary, so £40ph = £40,000 pa.

2. No you won't take care of IR35 by using a Ltd Co. Going from Permie on Friday to Contractor on Monday doing the same job for the same company is exactly the situation IR35 was intended to deal with and you *WILL* be caught if you do this.

Regardless of how you operate, you are within IR35. Your situation is exactly what it was designed to catch. If you wish to contract outside ir35, then get a contract with a new client.

If you are accepting that you will be within ir35 and paying full PAYE, then I may have misunderstood your response.

£40/hr or £300/day but bear in mind if you are going to be contracting at the same company doing the same job you'll be caught by IR35 for certain.
