Re: More nonsense

It depends on various factors such as the attitude of HMRC and the phase of the moon. The contract and working conditions may have some minor influence but the attitude of HMRC will be that you're caught anyway.

Serious answer - get the contract reviewed by a competent reviewer along with as much additional documentation you can get your hands on about the nature of the engagement. Look like an independent company. Don't use the company account as a pipe-line to direct cash straight from Apple to you, either as salary or dividends. Pay yourself a reasonable salary whilst making provision to be able to keep paying after the engagement's ended. When a pimp agent rings up after you've finished the first question will be "Are you available?" and providing that availability will have cost your company money by continuing to pay salary whilst you're on the bench.
