    Increase your rates whenever you think you can. That said, changes in tax policy would be an odd reason (and an even worse justification to a client) to do that. In other words, if you think you can get more, why haven't you asked for it already?

    Since clients are always happy to enforce rate cuts and generally keep costs as low as possible, to counter a general trend of falling rates, one has to try and push rates up as much as possible.

    So if the client will pay, of course, try to raise your rate. I suspect rates won't be going anywhere in future except down and down.

    Surely anyone always tries to raise their rate, whatever the tax situation. The fact is that if the client won't pay then we have to suffer the tax due.

    Impact of Budget 2016

    Is anyone thinking of raising their contract rates to lessen the impact of the new dividend tax setup?
