I know a program that is pooing itself at the moment as they are about to get audited and are wondering:
a) where all their money went
b) what the toe rags produced for that money
Answer is they have been mugged...Comment

The lesson they need to learn is that if you wants things to be delivered you need to pay the market rate and that means IT people will need to be paid far more than other workers so you better redesign your pay scales...
And that requires a lot of mugging by the big 4 consultancies before it dawns on them that they can't outsource their projects...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostYes, the larger concern would be the retrospective tax grab if you've been at the PS department a while. New department, new agency would be best and it's a whole new negotiation. The more contractors that leave, the better really because it shows how one idiot can bring the whole public sector into chaos with them even being an MP.
I suppose what I'm saying is, is looking back to the start date of your current contract likely to be a gateway to a full investigation for last 6 years?Comment

Originally posted by hollyblue View PostIn respect of the retrospective tax grab, I have been in my current contract since 15th Nov. If I were to stay and accept inside IR35 and HMRC say I need to pay tax back to 15th Nov, would they continue to look into my contracts prior to this one. I am aware that they can go back 6 yrs.

Little update:
Line manager is "stressed" to say the least so PSB (Trust) has now agreed to use the QDOS tool and compare with my results if I do it also. Anything to be concerned about or consider?
Current contract with this PSB started Nov, after voluntarily having a few months off, and currently due to end Mid May.Comment
