http://www.tarpon-uk.com/testing/ 0845 643 1580 I'm looking for a contract role and my recruitment agency has asked me to complete a psychometric test. Why have I been asked to complete one? It is nothing to worry about - Over 95% of the FTSE 100 companies use psychometric testing to select their staff. When you do a job that you love, it hardly feels like you're working. You owe it to yourself to discover your ideal contract. A personality report describes your perfect work environment. And what is psychometric testing exactly? There are two main types of tests used by employers; aptitude tests and personality questionnaires. Personality questionnaires are used to determine how people are likely to behave under various conditions. There are no right or wrong answers, and they're usually completed in your own time. Aptitude tests examine abilities such as numerical, verbal or abstract reasoning. Often presented in a multiple-choice format, the questions have definite right and wrong answers. Try this free psychometric test - you will be amazed with the accuracy of the results. The link can be found in the description to the right.

I'm contracting at the moment and my Umbrella Company have asked me whether I want to contribute to a pension -- what is a pension exactly? A pension is a long-term investment to provide a source of regular income when you retire. Contributions are made into a pension fund while you are working which will then give you regular payments once you have retired based on the amount you have contributed. So, why do I need a pension? When you retire, you'll still have bills to pay and will also want a regular income so that you can enjoy and make the most of your retirement years. The State Pension gives a basic income when you retire, but it is wise to set up a private pension as well so that you can live the lifestyle you want. What types of pension are there? The Basic State Pension The amount you get will depend on how much you have paid in National Insurance Contributions during your working life. The Additional State Pension Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be entitled to additional State Pension. Occupational Pension This is an arrangement that an employer may make to provide its employees with a pension when they retire. These are also known as work or company pensions. Stakeholder Pension This is an individual pension where the money you contribute is invested and can be moved to wherever you are working. Personal Pension This is an individual pension which is likely to have higher minimum investments and fees than a stakeholder pension, but there will often be greater investment choice and flexibility. Self Invested Personal Pension A Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) can allow you to take a much more active role in the investment of your pension pot. You may be able to choose from a range of fund managers and you could invest directly in property. And remember, you should always seek financial advice before making any decisions about how to invest for your pension.

http://www.tarpon-uk.com/?WT.mc_id=ON_V_YouTube 0845 643 1580 What is IR35? IR 35 comes from the 6th April 2000 Intermediaries legislation. It was first proposed in the 1999 Budget press release numbered IR35. Hence now commonly referred to as ‘IR35’. The aim of the legislation is to eliminate the avoidance of tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) through the use of intermediaries. Prior to the legislation, a worker could take the money out of the intermediary in the form of dividends instead of salary. The legislation ensures that, if the relationship between the worker and the client would have been one of employment had it not been for an intermediary, the worker pays tax and NICs on a fair basis. Who does it affect? The legislation itself is not targeted at any particular occupation or business sector. It applies in any business sector. The rules will apply to you if you answer ‘yes’ to both the following questions. Would you be an employee if you worked for your client directly and not through your company or partnership? Does the company or partnership you work through meet certain conditions regarding ownership of the company? What are the consequences of ignoring IR35? HMRC monitors compliance with the legislation to ensure that taxpayers do meet their obligations to pay the correct tax and NICs. Where HMRC find that the incorrect classification has been applied, they have a duty to ensure things are put right for the past and, where appropriate, for the future. Interest and penalties may be charged on any additional tax/NICs due to a result of any review or enquiry. Those that can be held liable are: The worker The Intermediary The Composite/MSC And sometimes even the Agency HMRC have additional powers to claim lost Tax and NI revenue off ANY party who materially benefit from the placement of workers under the “transfer of debt” legislation. How can you work safe? You will need to ensure you do not use a Managed Service Company and in no way take dividends. Investigate and opt for a HMRC fully approved, tax efficient solution When choosing your solution make sure the following applies: You are fully employed. You do not receive pay in “dividends” The company operates a normal PAYE scheme You pay employed (Class 1) NICs The company continue to operate in an HMRC-compliant manner. For a qualified solution, contractors will receive all the usual employment rights and protection given to individuals working for an employer. The service should offer both security and compliancy to all - workers, clients and agencies alike. The company you choose should ensure each and every contractor pays the correct level of Tax and NICs.

Well this is not the case for contractors working through Tarpon -- Tarpon have launched a revolutionary employee benefits package for contractors, which have allowed contractors to reduce living costs and maximise their take home pay. The exclusive benefits package allows contractors to combat rising living costs by offering discounts with items such as food shopping and with fuel. Contractors also make considerable tax savings through offsetting business expenses and salary sacrifice schemes such as childcare vouchers and pension contributions. As the UK approaches it's most challenging economic period for 2 decades, you need to make sure that you allow Tarpon to maximise your earnings. You need to join Tarpon now!

http://www.tarpon-uk.com/?WT.mc_id=ON_V_YouTube 0845 643 1580 Click below to see how much more you could be earning as a Tarpon employee! http://www.tarpon-uk.com/contractor-salary-calculator/?WT.mc_id=ON_V_YouTube I am thinking of contracting and have been told that I can maximise my earnings through an Umbrella Company if they have an expenses dispensation from the tax man. What is an expenses dispensation? Ok, before you fall asleep, let me tell you in laymen terms what it is. It allows 'employees' to claim for business related expenses without the need to submit necessary receipts. An Umbrella Company can only get one if it is approved by the taxman. It allows employee's to offset their tax and NI with genuine business related expenses. The benefits of working through an Umbrella Company with an approved dispensation are that: -- the employer does not report the expenses on form P11D. -- the employee does not have to include them on his income tax returns. -- the expenses have no bearing on the PAYE tax code of the employee. So how do Umbrella Companies obtain a dispensation? The Umbrella Company will need to pass several tests set by the Revenue. They will assess the kind of expenses to be claimed and know exactly who is authorised to approve reimbursement. and may be withdrawn if the qualifying conditions are no longer satisfied. If you don't want the Revenue to come knocking on your door -- make sure you have written proof from your Umbrella Company. Thank you -- I'll definitely make sure my future Umbrella Company has a written expenses dispensation before I start using them.
