    what you get you end up sharing even if you dont want to share.

    they will get at least a few of those choclates at some point. while your back is turned.
    hyperD, have you got a shareware copy of the Fleetwood Grammar Shield that el duder could have?

    What reasons are given by the client ?
    Assuming this is the contract he's been bleeting on about elsewhere, it's because the job's in the Netherlands.

    And that's the way it is there.

    You can take it or leave it, but you'll be very lucky to beat it

    Management companies

    Yes using a management company is pricey, but in many mainland countries the rules regarding labour leasing is very strict (especially in Switzerland and France). If you got the contract direct without an employment agency, then no problem you can use your own Ltd. But the fact that there is an employment agency involved, you either need to be employed by a management company with a Dutch base or a Dutch Rec agency. Generally speaking though (if everyone wants to keep legal) the management company has the contract with the end client, an employment contract with you and a margin-payment-only contract with the agency. This way you get the money on a fixed date regardless of whether the management company has invoiced the client or not. Also, if you can get the contract extended for atleast a year, and the contract ends thereafter, you can claim unemployment benefit (as you were an employee of the management company - something you can't get if you operate under your Ltd.)

    may as well mooch off the system when in-between assignments....

    might be worth considering.....

    You can run your own limited for 6 months within the EC. However the agency won't want you to do that, because they want you to renew, rather than feck off back to the UK. Most will tell you allsorts of bullsh1t to get you through their pref management company.

    Dont know the rules in Cloggie land, but you may find that using your Ltd is a non starter. You need soem proper advice before you jump in here.

    thanks..

    one company seems to be able to offer me a route where by i can still run my LTD company, and they act as my accountants...

    charging £133.66

    which seems better.
