What sort of rates do you charge as a freelancer or a contractor? Or more precisely I want to know what sort of rates *I* should be charging. There is the possibility that the Beeb will want to pay me to do more techie work and if so it probably won't be through another company (so they won't be taking a cut) but this may mean me needing to negotiate my own price. I know what the beeb are paying for me at the moment and it quite scares me so I'm not sure I would feel comfortable asking for that much. On the other hand I know it is a fraction of what Domino charged for a day of my labour. That of course did have other overheads and in this case the Beeb give my computer, desk, etc...

So, anybody who has knowledge or experience able to fill me in with a few figures of what is reasonable? Much appreciated. :)

Doesnt section 34 (of the Contracting Out (Income Ralated Benifits) Order) remove a lot of the advantages of being a limited company if you are the sole employee, and you have a small number of customers? e.g. you don't get the NIC advantages and some of the other items. If you end up doing something like this, you really would want hte services of an accountant I think. The bloody tax system in this country is too full of exceptions, excepting precisely what you want to do with it.
