A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Contracting continues to outperform other sectors of the UK labour market. Client organisations are increasingly recognising the benefits offered by the flexible and highly skilled contracting workforce. And although many new contractors join the sector each year, skills shortages still exist in many core contracting disciplines. Tens of thousands of UK contractors used the first edition either to successfully navigate the choppy seas between employment and contracting, or to improve their skills to reach the calm waters where the best and highest-paid contracts are just waiting to be caught. And now this second edition has been extensively updated with brand new chapters, fully updated sections and new features. NEW in this Second Edition: - Tax and legislation: updated with all the relevant changes since the first edition - Agency Workers Regulations: a whole new chapter on AWR - IR35: an updated chapter with the latest rulings, case law and new lessons - Your contracting business: extensive revisions with new company law - When things go wrong: twenty new tried-and-tested solutions - Contractor Mindset: new features to help professionalise your contracting - Coming to the UK: extensive guidance to help contractors from overseas

Revue de presse

Don't even think about embarking into freelancing without ordering a copy of the Contractors Handbook by Dave Chaplin. You could easily spend years finding out the hard way, what this highly focused and relevant book tells you and, after reading it, you will know exactly how to handle all the pitfalls and joys of contracting. --David Colom, D J Colom & Co Chartered Accountants

I have successfully made the transition from permanent employment to working as a contractor. My advice to first-time contractors is buy the Contractors Handbook and read it thoroughly from cover to cover. Twice. If you are not serious, it ll frighten you off, and if you are serious, it contains a wealth of practical advice from seasoned contractors who ve been there and done that. --Ken Burrell, Brilliant Baselines

I'm finding the handbook to be very interesting and useful, especially as I'm rewriting my CV to a more high impact format. The best part so far has been the recent 'contract renewal' which, having read the handbook, I referred back to my agent to get it redrafted as a new contract with a change of title, and took the opportunity to get an increased rate as well! --Paul Gardner, UK Contractor
