Children in Need
Staff at Intec raised over £1000 for Children in Need on Friday 17 November. Many of the male employees were sponsored to grow moustaches for what became known as Tache Friday. Account Developer Kevin Nichol went one step further (or backwards, depending on how you look at it) and had his head shaved and eyebrows waxed off, raising £282 in the process. A tombola and donut eating contest added to the grand total. |
Making Life Less TaxingContracting is growing in popularity as more people adopt flexible working patterns and those with in-demand skills seek to maximise their earning potential. Being self-employed has several obvious advantages, not least the fact you will be your own boss with the freedom to choose to work on the projects you wish. A downside, however, is that you are responsible for organising your own administrative affairs. As an alternative to setting up your own limited company, contractors outside of IR35 earning less than £40 per hour (or £325 per day) may wish to use a composite company service. Independent Contractor Services (www.ics.me.uk) provides a composite service whereby payments are received on your behalf, and all invoicing, accounting, bookkeeping, tax returns, expenses and the important business of ensuring you always get paid on time are dealt with for you. Another benefit of using a composite service is that you actually end up paying less tax, which of course makes it attractive to contractors! Contractors outside of IR35 that earn more than £40 per hour (or £325 per day) may wish to use a salary package. ICS operates a salary package that essentially divides your total income into its taxable and non-taxable components, with the aim of reducing the overall level of tax you pay. As with a composite service, all your administrative tasks are undertaken for you. Contractors that fall within IR35 can reduce their tax burden by joining an umbrella company. As with the composite service and salary package, ICS can manage this for you. As well as increasing your take home pay, an umbrella company will handle the administrative headache of running a company, so you can focus on your core skills without distraction. Useful contacts:
