One of the major benefits of working as an Independent Professional Contractor is the ability to maximise your take-home pay by claiming expenses. However, Ireland’s tax system can be tricky to navigate, meaning contractors could easily miss out on opportunities for relief, particularly in relation to expenses. In this webinar, our expert speakers will provide an in-depth exploration of the topic of expenses and offer a comprehensive walk-through of the claims process.

- Time: 1PM Thursday, April 7
- Sign-Up: Zoom
- Presenters: Tony Tynan, Operations Director @ Berkley and Sean Piggott, Business Development Manager @ Icon Accounting
When choosing a limited company structure, many Independent Professional Contractors opt for an Umbrella Company as it offers the easiest and most direct route into contracting. After a certain point, however, it may be time to move to the Personal Limited Company model. By contracting through a Private Limited Company, you can enjoy a greater number of options for maximising the financial benefits of your contract.
