So I am being offered a contract renewal with a rate cut - ho hum - but I'm long-in-the-tooth there and can handle that, so that's not the issue. There are, however, some changes being placed in the contract that I want to run by you guys.
I am direct to the client. I'm using the PCG / IPSE contract. The client's over-zealous (new) legal team wants to add these clauses:
1. Requesting the services of a named "Individual" in the Master Agreement. There are plenty of existing clauses in the IPSE template to counter employee/employer relationships, but still, I don't like the fact that I will be named as the one person the client is requesting to provide the services.
2. The requirement that I must own all of the shares of my company. This is an odd one. Why would they care if my company shares are 50/50 with my wife?
Are either of these points a concern when it comes to IR35?
