How Low Can You Go?
I know there must be loads of threads about this. With the current market as it is, I'd be interested to know how much percentage day rate drop or other previous deal breakers some of you have had to make recently in order to close that widening gap between time on the bench and securing a gig, and...

Client Requesting I schedule meetings with their customer
This may seem like a minor point for IR35 but will ask anyway. My end client has asked me to schedule and therefore take ownership of a fortnightly meeting with their customer. I know this is an administrative task but will this blur the lines of being an independent contractor outside IR35, considering...

Permie Hijacking My Deliverables
Having recently started an outside IR35 contract, for which the client had stated clear deliverables, I had my contract assessed by Qdos and was all deemed good to go. I knew at the time that a couple of the deliverables were not within the scope of my skills and experience but, having a limited warchest...Last edited by Willy Win; 11 July 2024, 07:00.

ziggystardust started a topic Is it the norm to be asked to use own computer for an Inside IR35 contract?in GeneralIs it the norm to be asked to use own computer for an Inside IR35 contract?
Recruitment agency has now specified I need to use my own laptop for work after screening completed and contract signed. This was never stated before or at client interview and having had use of the same client's laptop in a previous contract I assumed that this would be the case again, particularly...

Starting a New Limited Company 2 Months After Closure

Now my contract has ended and I have been approached...

Contract Outside IR35 but through Umbrella - Tax the same?
Possibly an obviously stupid question but asking it anyway as I have only contracted through an umbrella company once and that was inside IR35. As going Umbrella means being taxed as an employee, would deductions be exactly the same if the contract were Outside IR35 and day rate was the same also?...

Can I rent a property as a non-ltd company contractor on a short gig?
Is it possible to apply for a rental property working as a contractor employed by an umbrella company with only 4 months left on a current client contract? Would the only option be to provide a guarantor or are there alternatives? Has anyone else been successful on doing so? I expect this would be...

Contract Inside IR35 = Anything Goes?
For the first time in my contracting career I've taken a gig deemed as inside IR35 with a bank. Notice is 1 month and the gig is 6 which was non negotiable. I know that being inside IR35 covers that aspect of being a "disguised employee" , "under direction and control" etc....

Umbrella VS limited company in public sector inside IR35?
I'm in IT and currently I'm being offered a position in the public sector inside IR35 via an agency and they gave me 2 options (exact wording):
Option 1. An umbrella route whereby you become an employee of the umbrella, with payroll taxes deducted at source.
Option 2. A payroll...

Help! Mortgage via an umbrella company (payslips) - advice appreciated.
I need some advice. I received and accepted an offer on my property which I've had for 9 years last Friday. Found the perfect property to buy last Wednesday and put an offer on it. Called Nationwide to discuss porting my existing mortgage and went through the DIP process. I was granted a DIP for £400k,...

26 year old, new to contracting help!

I am looking to become an IT contractor. I have interviews for both an inside IR35 role and outside.
For arguments sake lets say they are both offering 450GBP a day for 6 months (lets say 120 days of work).
Therefore I get 450*120=54,000GBP sent to me.

New to Umbrella companies: some advice please
Hello,
I'm still quite new to the UK and have just taken on a six-month contract that I am told falls inside IR35 and that I will need to go through an umbrella company to get paid. Having freelanced in Australia as the equivalent of a sole-trader for much of my career, all of this is...
