Hi,
I've had an offer of a contract as a project manager direct with a client. I've had the contract and working practices reviewed and the opinion was that it was a fail as a) the client has other PM's doing a similar role and b) I would be working on similar projects so very hard to show that I wouldn't be subject to D&C.
In my experience it is rare that an IT contractor is genuinely providing a skill that the client doesn't have. More common with the IT contractors that I know is that they are providing additional capacity of skills which the client already has. Therefore this would point to them being inside IR35.
I would be really interested to know how people who other people interpret this. Particualry interested in people who are in the scenario above where they are working with a client who also have permanent people with similar skills and or roles.
