Hi, brand new here and while I have read through quite a few posts I haven't been able to find the answers to my specific questions so I thought someone here may be able to answer. I'm currently working as a permanent employee but have been contacted by a recruitment company offering a 6 month position on a day rate considerably larger than what I am earning. My question is, do I have to pay PAYE and NI through the recruitment company or can I set up my own limited company as soon as I have my feet under the desk or is there a middle ground? I guess this is both a legal and moral question. Thanks

Turn it down, you are just not ready.
Highly likely agent is just chancing his arm so the chance of getting the gig are still slim. If you are going to go contracting do it when you are ready and are in control, not when you are being lead in to an abyss by an agent. There are plenty of gigs out there, this isn't the only one.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

That's not being headhunted, it's just being contacted by an agent.....
If that's being headhunted I've headhunted at least 14,000 times about 13,970 being fruitless agent time wasting....
Really OP, catch yourself on....Last edited by stek; 31 May 2015, 21:08.Comment
