As guidance here How to deal with an HMRC IR35 letter :: Contractor UK says "Consider seeking client confirmation of the day-to-day working practices" I am thinking of getting my client to sign the working practices while still doing the contract. Where can I get a sample of working practices? What needs to be there?

IPSE have one as well (IIRC), but I don't have the link handy and I don't know if it's available to non members. -
Another example:

Some argue that the contract should provide sufficient detail to render a CoA moot and potentially risks a conflict between the two, but I personally think it adds colour.
Remember: 1) it needs to be signed by someone that is familiar with your working practices, not some random person from HR or procurement; and 2) to retain evidence of your working practices.Comment

I had a CoA signed by the manager in the department I worked in, basically saying I worked on my own without any direction and control from him. HMRC just ignored it and went to the HR department to get them to answer the closed questions to confirm my guilt.Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostYes, they'll do whatever it takes to build a case. However, it's important to remember that their best case may be (very often is) crap, so the CoA may help at a later stage.Comment

Wouldn't even try to put one of those docs in front of someone unless I thought the terms contained were so guaranteed as to make it pointless anyway
Will instead rely on the fact that I have to buy my own coffee to get me out of IR35!⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment
