Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI run a ltd because I was forced to. The only way I could get contract work was via an agency using a ltd. Which means I use an accountant, indemnity , VAT FRS, etc etc.
Over the years I have had to adapt and I will adapt to this as well. The key fixed points are
1. minimise aggro for the client
2. costs will go up, particularly for staying away
3. SDC will be certain, but then longer contracts are back on the agenda
4. Agencies practices might change and not for the better
Seems to me that I will be going for longer contracts, insisting on a 3 or 4 day week with 10 - 12 hour days, pushing hard for WFH, pushing harder for direct
Ie I would like 600 pd contract working from home.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostIt may have been said already. I got 10 pages in and didn't see it. But why not negotiate a contract where T&E is part of the contract. That way you push the T&E onto the client. I do this with my contractors now. Any expenses they accrue I pay them back.

Originally posted by NibblyPig View PostThere is no net dividend next year according to what you said, so either your dividend has no tax on it and thus is equal to gross, or the nasty HMRC wizard comes along and steals the entire thing
So say for instance that the higher tax limit is 42k
At present £10k salary and £28,800 net dividends (£32,000 gross dividends)
Next year higher tax limit £43k
£11k salary, £5k dividends tax free and £27k taxed @ 7.5%
