Wimbledon may be the most prized Grand Slam tennis event of them all, but its the French Open that has the flair. Although Paris is just a short hop from London these days, the tennis events in the two cities could not be more different. If youre thinking of buying tennis tickets in 2010, remember not to forget Roland Garros.

The Roland Garros surface is orange clay rather than the green grass of Wimbledon, which makes for a completely different contest. Clay is slower than grass, and can favour certain players who struggle at places like Wimbledon. The great thing about buying sport tickets, though, is that you can go and see both events without worrying about handling the surfaces! Thats best left to the playersThe French Open is a good place for a bit of celebrity-spotting too, with plenty of famous names from the worlds of sport, entertainment and royalty making regular appearances at Roland Garros. Its probably something about Paris in the springtime that makes them source tennis tickets or get their butlers to do it, perhaps.For all your sport...more

The rules ensure that contractors now come under the same taxation laws as anyone doing similar work under a standard PAYE situation.The primary motives behind the IR35 rules were to thwart those working in the IT industry, it was common practice for them to resign from their permanent job and, after a few weeks, go back to the same job but this time working as a contractor with their own limited company. This enabled them to earn a lot more money for the same job as they were doing previously, additionally, as a freelancer they would be paying less national insurance and tax as a proportion of their income.Finding out if you are classed as self-employed or employed is dependant on the Inland Revenue; the IR35 rules...more
