Rate was crap and they insisted on my being on site so I told them I wasn't interested.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostThings have got a bit more serious on this end. Looks like I'm going out.
Did you get a direct contract? I've managed it but it's taken some sweat. They are insisting that my UK Ltd shall charge them VAT, I've asked the accountant.
Likewise they are insisting my bum is on the seat although it could change a month in, so I'm told.
The rate is mad too,,,
The rate got improved and I can work from home. Saga is ongoing...

Previously worked from home for them, yet they want the bodies on site for this one, only ever been shown round before.
