caliAl Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I’m thinking of moving into IT contracting and was wondering what’s the best way of finding work? Also can anyone offer any advise on IR35 and running it through a Limited Company? Are there any agencies out there where I would pay PAYE through them?

carl0s Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Are there any agencies out there where I would pay PAYE through them? You need a payroll bureau. My accountants do this for me under the guise of "BC Payroll Bureau Ltd", a sort of sub-company of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 lots of umbrella companys about ... i used parasol-it. giant gets good reviews too I've used Parasol-it, good bunch of people to deal with. A lot of contracts are not advertised, you need to email as many agencies you can think of telling them what you want. I used to get daily emails from Jobsite and jobserve but you need to be proactive and go to the agencies. I've worked for one of the biggest - computacenter I think they were called, they had a few names. Worth trying to get in with someone like that as they have a number of engineers across the UK they call on. I'll have a look through my stuff at home to see if I can find their proper name - I know they had the contract with Fujitsu, NTL and a few other tho.

SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 What sort of work are you doing now and what kind of IT contract work do you want to get into and what location?? here is some IR35 research for you.. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ir35/ http://www.ir35advice.com/ To be honest there are many Agencies out there that will cater for your needs. I have been an IT recruiter for the last 6.5 years and worked for many of the major players as well as having my own agency for 2.5 years. I deal with more accountancy now.

Supragal Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeah use an umbrella if you want it more hassle free. You pay them but it means you don't have to mess about with tax etc and they arrange for the money to appear in your bank account magically.
