September 9: Tax planning event for freelancers and contractors

For the UK’s freelancers and contractors these are uncertain times. With fears rife of a double dip recession and the scrutinous IR35 legislation coming under intense scrutiny, it’s difficult for micro-businesses to know exactly where they stand.

The latest tax planning seminar for freelancers and contractors, hosted by financial planners Wealth Matters, will offer a timely, in-depth insight into all the big issues facing your business. But be quick, it’s coming up very soon.

The idea behind the evening is to provide contractors with practical common sense business advice as well as taking an informed look at what the current economic climate has in store for them.

Here’s what the roster of expert speakers will be talking about:

  • Iain McIlwee from PCG ‘the voice of freelancing’ will speak about current events and issues affecting contractors and freelancers.

  • Wealth Matters’ Julian Gilbert and Paul Cleworth will talk about tax planning including a review of the Coalition Budget, how this affects contractors and what you can do about it.

  • Darren Fell and Steve Crouch (ex. HMRC Chartered Accountant) from online accountants Crunch.co.uk will also be discussing the budget together with providing simple tax saving strategies for contractors and explaining their unique on-line accountancy service.

  • David Jones from financial economist’s Dimensional will be speaking about “logical investing” in today’s markets.
