Hello, after 5 years of being a sole trader, I've just started a contract for a client that I gained through an agency, this is only the second week of the contract.
The agency have told me that they can only pay me for work if I have a limited company or work through an umbrella company. I'd prefer a limited company, but if I set one up today, will I be able to backdate payment for the days I've already worked?
The agency are telling me that this will be fine, but I wondered what other people thought. I've tried contacting HMRC and companies house but they both say they can't advise me on this.
If I can't claim for days worked before the company incorporation date, what should I do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
