First time posting, long time contractor.
Although I pretty much exclusively undertake short-term B2B engagements, the vast majority of my colleagues do not and are often on client sites for many multiple of years (6 month rolling extensions) making use of client computer, canteen, social events etc. Think investment/retail banking london IT java/c# development.
My question is this... given the huge amount of concern/interest/posting/clarification/debate/nervousness that goes into IR35 related questions on this forum, is there anyone here who has actually had an IR35 investigation from the HMRC? If so, would you be willing to clarify the circumstances and elaborate a little?
I cannot help wonder if it's just a juicy intellectual topic to debate on forums (ie. "should I donate to a leaving collection and sign the permie card"). But then again, maybe I'm just ignorant.
Thanks,
Freemont
