    Your plan for worst case scenario

    After dividends tax, T&E removal, removal of BTL mortgage relief, and possible payroll after 1 month hits on contractors, what's everyone's alternative plan for contracting

    1- Carry on regardless, got no choice
    2- Go perm, it’s not worth it
    3- Leave the country
    4- Downsize, retire, embrace the Good Life lifestyle

      We don't know. How about wait until we do before making a decision rather than flailing in the dark?

        You're a poker player right?

        Always good to have some back-door outs.

          But flailing in the dark is what we do. No need for facts, just make premature decisions...

            NLUK, no one is making a decision, its considering alternatives.. for me perhaps try 4, if it didn't work, then has to be carryon regardless, can't face perm now !

                It all depends how bad it gets tomorrow, but one things is for sure - I am not going back to perm.

                  I've been looking at option 3 for a while, but I think I might pursue is a little stronger.
