Folks,
I would appreciate your advice.
Currently work 5 days PAYE for a company in Mayo. Cashflow means a couple of months owed.
An offer came to me through a friend of a company who need a guy for 2 days one week and 3 days the next to contract into them, Dublin based company, I am based and working in Mayo. The contract is 6 months and paid a daily rate.
I don't have a company setup so I would either have to set this up or go Sole trader.
The company in Dublin know the setup with company in Mayo.
I have yet to agree 100% with the company in Mayo but they will continue to employee (As PAYE) me on the other days I am not contracting in Dublin.
First off, is this setup legal?
Can I claim hotel expenses and some expenses against my car?
Is it worthwhile setting up a company for a 6 month contract?
Anything else I need to consider?
I have to pay and accountant to setup regardless of whether I am sole trader or company. What sort of ball park am I looking?
The daily rate with the company is 250. I am currently earning 180 (salary broke down) a day in the company in Mayo.
I apologise about some of the daft questions in advance
