Again, no one on a contract has been offered the new permanent deal. It just does not exist at the moment. Contractors have been offered positions within core but that's it. As ekpilot said, HEL should have been permanent but so is not the case. You get what you sign up for. There are no such things as "promises" in aviation. What is in your contract is what goes. As for the tax situation, I believe the contract agency you sign with will pay social taxes in the country where you are based. So you do not have to set up your own tax scam company just yet
