I'm doing some forward planning and thinking about possible scenarios should I be offered a contract extension next year, taking me over 2 yrs.
Obviously I wouldn't be able to claim T&S etc. One option would be to absorb this, but another would be to propose a rate increase.
Currently expenses are static (£500pcm), which is an easy enough calculation, however I'd also likely have to draw more dividends to cover these expenses personally, which would take me into the higher tax bracket.
So I'm wondering, how do folk here model this so as to not 'be out of pocket'?
To try and answer the immediate Qs, yes I did search but probably not hard enough, I could ask my accountant but I'm interested in how ppl here approach this, no I haven't had an offer so the 2 yrs is not up, yes I know the client might not accept my rate but that's not my Q. Yes I am sure contracting is for me!
And yes...I expect and await certain folk here to find a point I have missed and present it back to me(without answering the questions) [emoji6]
