New Budget survey keeps UK contractors in the know

To help the contracting industry realise the true effects of new tax legislation being revealed in the Budget today, independent resource site ContractorCalculator.co.uk has launched the most representative analysis of its type ñ the 2007 Budget Effects Survey - to find out what UK contractors think of the proposed legislation and how it affects them.

With the impending 2007 Budget changes directly affecting users of Managed Service Companies (MSCs), the 2007 Budget Effects Survey will find out how changes will affect contracting arrangements.

Says Dave Chaplin, CEO of www.ContractorCalculator.co.uk and the surveyís publisher: ìAs an independent resource site whose objective is to continually keep contractors objectively informed of anything that affects them, we have become increasingly concerned that the importance of this new legislation has been missed by many contractors. We recently witnessed an increase in traffic to our siteís Managed Service Companies content and have received many emails from contractors asking for advice on their individual circumstances. This activity has demonstrated that there are potentially tens of thousands of contractors out there who are not yet fully prepared for the impending changes in the Budget.

Getting to know contractors
The full survey results will be published online shortly after the Budget, enabling individual contractors to understand how representative their circumstances are across the market as a whole. ìThe results of this survey will not only help us to improve the content we write, but will also make very insightful reading for the participants themselves ñ there will be benefits on many levels,î concludes Chaplin.
