Update on my IR35 investigation still going on two and a half years after it began.

[eek]

I take it you aren't a pcg / IPSE member?

[mudskipper]

Nautically trying to ask - were you doing normal everyday contract stuff, or were you taking the piss in some easily reportable way?

OP is a social worker IIRC.

OP - did you have any representation during this?

IPSE/QDOS etc?

[Zero Liability]

If I may ask: where you doing anything to provoke their interest?

I mean, are you just a contractor going in every day, buying a sandwich on expenses- or were you getting paid holidays, expensing flights to the Caribbean, managing teams, etc?

I believe this distinction is important

Would also be interesting to find out the day rate billed as high income can be a risk factor from what I've read.

No I was not going in every day but was bought in to clear a backlog of 'certain' work over which I has control to either choose or refuse. Five of us were hired and worked away from other permanent employees; no paid holiday; no mutulaity of obligation; no sick pay; no staff canteen and I had the right to substitute another skilled worker to complete my work if I was unwell, etc.

QDOS/PCG represent you in this?
