    Guide to IT Contracting

    Something to read while you're on the bench, or bog:

    http://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=e...um=2&ct=result


    Not sure how many pages are restricted/removed from the preview, had a quick scan through and seem to be able to access most of the 425 pages.

    Seems very comprehensive for any newbies, may even learn a few things myself when I've time to study it further.

    Anyone on here own up to writing it? Threaded!?

      Was wondering if it's easy/possible to download, but thought that's a bit unfair when someone's obviously put a lot of effort into writing it.

      Might get someone to buy it me for chrimbo! Assuming it's on sale anywhere in paper form.

          Don't tell me, they're the ones that deal with dealing with agents.

            used the search inside book feature for contractoruk and got 4 hits. none of them appear to point to the forums so not a complete guide then.

              The author has been rather, er, prolific.

              I look forward to reading his other titles :

              The Ultimate Greyhound Betting System

              Tax Avoidance A Practical Guide For UK Residents

              among many others

                Not sure this guy knows what he is talking about. On page 8 he says:
                In the UK for example, permanent staff earning £100,000 would lose the majority of it to Value Added Tax (VAT)...
                If he's getting confused between income tax and VAT, it's a little worrying...
