Eek's we're all doomed theory

Afraid I have to agree with this. There's definitely an element of bullying and arrogance from certain posters.

+1 which is a shame IMO.

Tell that to PC and the double figure numbers of contractors that are having to leave at my ex-client. Trolling pillock.

But if PC had been declared inside...

But if PC had been declared inside...

PC had enough sense to see what was going to happen and left... No matter what you think about him he does seem to (eventually) listen to advice and in this case I can see why it was eventually (remember he is now, like a lot of other contractors, currently benched rather than taking the risk and continuing)....

And I'm still waiting for anyone to explain what is different between what I expected to happen and what has happened. As I stated earlier the bit that surprises me is that the Equal Expert contractors whom I expected to be listed as well and truly outside have been declared inside. That to my shows things may be worse than I expected, not better as Semtex and others seem to believe...

I was at a seminar today and Teapot was quoted, you guys do have a voice!

[eek]

poppycock. I, and numerous people have asked very sensible questions mainly. The rudeness (mentioning no names) from certain posters to people asking questions has been pompous and shocking, there is certainly a clique on these forums boards.

Thinking about it you may have a point but I actually don't think its fair because the problem is that its the same few posters who are continually answering the same questions again and again (and I've already got fed up doing so, so others probably feel the same).

What would be helpful would be for others to step up and to point people in the right direction. So I thank those in this thread who are complaining for volunteering to answer the newbie questions...

Maybe this thread needs dusting down again...

Not that I am in the Public Sector (or indeed any sector) at the moment but if history has taught us anything it is the impact of any one change brought in by the HMRC is at times not quite as big as you might think but the direction of traffic is towards the majority of contractors being under PAYE.

Do tell!

As a newbie, I have been incredibly grateful for the information and advice on here. The worst case scenario posts are some of the things I have found most useful. They have provided a much needed perspective from the total lack of awareness and blasé attitude of the NHS, and crafty half truths and false reassurances from the agencies.

Thank you... And I do know that what I'm posting especially when it comes to any retrospective tax grab is a worst case scenario but I really don't want people seeing £10-25k tax demands because no one mentioned the issue when said rumours were heard....
