IR35 update

Submitted by daniel on

For  those  people  who have been contracting IR35 is nothing new. IR35 was first introduced in 2000 by then chancellor Gordon Brown in an attempt to close the tax avoidance schemes that many contractors were encouraged to sign up for. This included certain "personal service companies"  that employed various schemes to avoid paying NI and Income Tax. 

Are Recruitment Agencies a dying breed?

I have been working as a Web Developer since 2001. Until a couple of years ago I have worked as a contractor in a number of roles thanks in part to the army of Recruitment Consultants who are registered on the job boards gaining access and to my credentials and matching me with possible opportunities, arranging interviews and setting up contracts and of course making sure you get paid for the work that you do.
