What are viable alternatives to contracting in the UK, now that the government have effectively killed the industry overnight? Where can you go, where your income (either contract or perm) is sufficient to give you an equal or greater standard of living?
The budget threads aren't even in the top 10 this morning..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Including the trees.
When I started contracting, travel weren't usually claimable (Unless it was to an overseas location) - it was decided by your local tax office. But we had dividend income to avoid ERNIC (and as a consequence, EENIC). The later 90's were great because travel became claimable, and we got the dividend uplift. 2000 became a bit crap with IR35 - mainly the uncertainty, but that settled down as it became clear that it could be voluntary with a little effort.
I went contracting for the independence and uplift in income. Not so I could claim expenses and pay less tax as a percentage overall. If the net effect of this legislation is that those whose fees make it marginal over permie go into permiedom, I can't see that is a bad thing for the rest of us.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
