Got stung once under IR35. Had a £35k tax bill land on my door, wasnt pleasant. Still as I got stiffed for over 14k recently HRMC wont be able to pull that little trick again. Answer... keep on top of it every week.
the dole is never the answer unless you are going under
if you choose to put your prices up be very careful by how much
more than around 5% can be counterproductive unless you are well below the rate your area will bear
although if you put your prices up by say 7% and loose say 5% more off the jobs you will be slightly better off money wise[1.65%] with 2 extra hours free time[on a 40hr week]
