    Director Disqualification

    how can one work in future if I have been disqualified as a director, I went through a liquidation and recently received a letter from the insolvency service, for continuing to trade when not having paid tax on time and fully to the detriment of the HMRC, I have reached an agreement with liquidator paying 25k towards a 100k debt

    I am thinking of accepting the insolvency service charge and asking for a reduction in tenure as I will not waste their time with a court case etc

    Can I also ask for exceptional dispensation to continue working, if I set up a new company now and use it to start a contract what happens once am disqualified

    Pls all responses are welcome

    You could work through an umbrella.

    You're not being prevented from working in the future, you are being prevented from being a director. There's a big difference.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      I don't wish to be rude buy you appear to have not learnt the lesson and are continuing with the same attitude that got you in to hot water in the first place. It's pretty difficult to get disqualified and 100k is no small amount either. Why on earth do you think they will give you dispensation to do it all over again?

      You can't set up a new company as a director. You've been disqualified. Read towards the bottom of this page.

            Hi

            One more question if one is in the middle of a contract when the disqualification is finalised, what does one do, can I finish said contract or have to let agency know and change my working arrangement

              Good umbrella companies will adhere to the law which means the only possible variation on your net income is the amount they charge in fees, which is a few quid either way. If you get any more than that then you are looking at a whole new load of trouble.

              Personally I'd get a permanent job. You are too dangerous to be considering working as self employed.

                What does your contract say? Most would kick your ass to the kerb.

                  Just thinking wouldn't his contract be between the agency and his Ltd thus moving to Umbrella requires a new contract?
