Driver - Ltd Co

Thanks all. I did check google but there's that much info and not all date stamped so I'm not sure what's current / accurate.
I'd heard about IR35 and some folk were saying I couldn't go limited if I didn't own my rig...hence asking here.
Not sure if there's different rules when you work through an agency? I'd definitely prefer limited as it seems relatively painless and the pay's better. I just wasn't sure if the rules stopped me from doing it...

Can't find that from my cave, sorry 🙄

No CUK poster is official until they have been insulted by NLUK!

A very warm welcome....

He'll be back to tell you off for putting the quote at the bottom of your answer if you aren't careful...

Not if he wants to stay in the playground, he won't...

Amazing what you can find when you type 'driver limited company' in to this new fangled website thing I found. Goggle or boogle or something like that.

Thanks Cojak - much appreciated! I think it's around the IR35 thing. I'm not an owner / operator so it's more to find out if I can go limited in the first place.

Well, that depends.

Hi all.
New class 1 driver here.
Can I use a limited company to get a better pay / expenses?
Thanks!
