Is 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...

I went through closure of my Limited company ahead of securing an Inside IR35 contract via an Umbrella, as I did not envisage getting anymore outside contracts for the foreseeable future, with dissolution completing in February this year.

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

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?...

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...

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....

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...

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,...

Hi All,
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.

Apologies if this question has already been posted.

After 30+ years in IT and 15 years as a contractor I am now about to take my first inside contract with a Public sector client. The daily rate advertised was £350 gross with payroll options of LTD/PAYE/Umbrella, I chose LTD as I am...

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...

Hi,
I have recently got new contract that falls under Inside IR35 .
I was assessing weather its still good option to continue through my own limited company.

The agency will deduct tax at Basic Rate, Employee NI, Employer NI at source and will deposit around £8000/month...
