  1. With the govt IR35 legislation coming in, to rape and rob the independent worker while ensuring they have no employment rights at all, looking like my retirement will now be in my 60's :(

  2. What - are they tightening up on what allowances you can claim - or changing so you have to pay more tax... sorry - being a PAYE I have no details on the change.
     
  3. You missed out ‘recalcitrants’ :D Andy

  4. @bradders, couldn't get you in buddy - sooooo, what time El? :)
     
  5. For many, it will tax as if PAYE (tax & NI) plus you pay VAT and corp tax and then personal tax on any funds you take as dividends. But no holidays, no sickness, if you're not in contract, no support mechanisms, and can still be released from contact at (often) days notice.

    I pay c30% of my income in tax now, and have to plan for a rainy day (like the last 3 weeks off for illness). Plus I collect VAT at 20% for the govt.....

    They did this in public sector, the stuff our taxes pay for, and most of the rates increased by 40% as they couldn't get the resources they needed.
     
  6. Ok - so you end up paying more than if you were a PAYE employed - at the effective hourly rate because of the VAT? or can you recover that? Are you still able to deduct stuff. unlike a PAYE?

    If not may as well work for a company ...
     
  7. A face that sunk a thousand boats

  13. Between two of you should clear £85k and pay £4k tax and NI. Plus you could put £16k in a pension tax free.....
