Originally posted by Andrew@HillierHopkins View PostThe devil is in the detail. Any contractor specialist accountant should be able to advise on the types of clauses that should be present in order to put you outside of IR35. If you need full contract review and IR35 insurances then you can pay for this too.

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostWhat about a contract clause that states that your company will only receive a payment on the realisation of planned benefits in five years' time?
1.6.9. Prime Contractor and Subcontractor hereby declare that this contract is outside of "IR35". Honest. Promise.Comment

But I did say I was being pedantic.Comment

Presumably if your client is overseas, and you're tax resident in the UK, then virtually all your work is remote? If so, I struggle to see how HMRC could win an IR35 challenge. Is it realistic that a client can control how/when/where a contractor does work when they're in a different country? I would've thought not...but you should check with a specialist like QDOS.Comment

Originally posted by Andrew@HillierHopkins View PostI’ve argued this exact point with a UK based client who has US client.
Even in my field, which is high level strategic process design, clients can (if I let them) demand I use ITIL v3 conventions or even adhere to ISO20000-1 standards - and I'm there to tell them what to do not the other way round.
I agree it is not easy for a remote client to do so, but it is not as simple as saying that because they are remote then they cannot impose D&C.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Agree w/ mal. It's less likely that D&C could be a factor, but having an overseas client doesn't reduce the level of due diligence required in any way. You also can't bank on HMRC not pursuing a case because it's more difficult for them to get answers (there are avenues, bilaterally, actually). Best to follow normal procedure and get the contract reviewed and WP aligned. Still, there are far more important commercial issues; don't let the IR35 tail wag the dog. A full commercial legal review is worthwhile, especially for contracts that have overseas jurisdiction and/or governing law.Comment
