Another recommended option is to go to www.ipse.co.uk and download their Guide to Freelancing. If it's not in there, you probably don't want to know.

I am a newly qualified doctor, and I have been given advise, however I would like some alternative advise please.
Thank you in advance.
(Oh, and it's advice )

Welcome!
You'll find a lot of answers to your questions within the CUK website.
On the right you'll find CUK Navigation. >>>>>>>>>
Look down and you'll come to the First Timers section. Have a read through there.
Basic expenses questions answered here: Contractor Expenses - How to claim Travel and other expenses via Limited Company or Umbrella
Then pay particular attention to IR35.
And here are the rules when using company credit cards: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payerti/exb/a-z/c/cards.htm
If you go into the Accounting/Legal forum you'll discover the thread Basic advice when running your own contractor business.
Guide to Contracts also has some good articles.
And finally - accountant recommendations - Ta-da!
Happy reading!
I must warn you that there aren't many doctors on the forum and we don't allow advertising, so 1st time posters promoting locum services will be banned.
