So if you get in a Boots store, and travel say 50 miles each way, you can earn £275 + £40 = £315. Also some of their stores don't even do prescriptions - take a good book.
Mostly with a bit of travel, other companies pay about £225 to £250 per day.
I can also stress that making yourself a Ltd company helps a lot. It costs at least £250 to set up, but with a good accountant can drop your tax bill to 3 or 4k a year - depends how much you earn of course. This is all legal by the way, it's not worth trying to cheat the Inland Revenue - they will catch you!
If you need an accountant post again and I can put you in touch with a good one. |
I'm thinking about giving this locum lark a go. Let me get this clear, are you saying you only pay £3K/£4K tax on a years income? I know there will be accountants fees but this sounds too good to be true. Even if you worked four days a week this means your average income would be around £52K. Paying £3-£4K tax on this would be amazing. Can you provide further info on how this is done together with an idea of the accountant fees.
Cheers
