    Support monkeys....

    yep, you network/windows/unix support people....are you inside or outside IR35?

    I'm currently under an umbrella (soon to change) and claim mileage so I guess outside, well my pimp tells me the contract is IR35 friendly? I've been here almost 2 years so if it carries on what will I take as a percentage if I claim nothing and go ltd?
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        He keeps telling me how valuable I am and buy's me a coffee every 6 months! I stopped claiming for food as I was only spending £3 a day and couldn’t be bothered with receipts as my time was more precious.

          surely in a support role you cannot send a mate in in palce of you and you come under the direct control of someone at the end clients place of work (e.g they may monitor your call stats if you are on a phone helpdesk)

          so more than likely well inside IR35?

            I am supplied as a consultant for 'special projects' as that is what I was originally doing but my role has changed over time and I have ended up doing more support work with the odd project thrown in, my contract still says consultant.

            Does anyone know what sort of percentage I will get as a ltd inside IR35? As I've been here almost 2 years.

              if you are inside IR35 and have been there 2 years I reckon you will be better of with a brolly - less hassle in terms of time - not sure also if the extra insurances you need to run your own ltd may eat up any cash benefit - insurances are normally inclusive of brolly price.

              tell us what conclusion you come to..

                Everyone keeps telling me to go ltd including my agent who gains no benefit from doing so, all I've been hearing for months is people on here saying come April brollies will be dead in the water and to get out quick yet today a few people are now saying hold on??? If I ask the brollies, MSC's or accountants they all give reasons why I should go with them, MSC's are out of the question so that leaves the two, I don’t think I'll be in my current role for much longer and expect to get a few short term contracts over the next year or so, I need to sort it out soon.
