Only if it's *the* previous company, not *a* previous company.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostIt's highly likely you will be inside IR35. It can be debatable but for a couple of months it's probably just better to go brolly and forget that issue.
OP, get a contract with start date, duration, rate per professional working day, deliverables, etc. Get it reviewed by QDOS and get a limited company formed and an accountant. In the meantime, read up on the newbie guides on the right hand side of this forum.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

If it looks like just a couple of months and you're really set on a permanent job in the future, so this would be a stop gap, then I'd go umbrella.
A contract being inside IR35 in itself is not a reason to turn it down. Using the Contractor Umbrella (fairly accurate) calculator £500/day for a 20 day month results in a net monthly income of £5,736.72 which may vary due to your specific tax position - granted it'll be less than non-IR35 but that's not to be sniffed at. And purely on a net pay measurement (I know there's more to it) to match this, a permie role will need to be of the order of £105k as calculated by The Salary CalculatorComment
