Whether or not to accept 'inside IR35 role'

[ibronatron]

Completely new to this forum, so firstly, hello everyone!

I've been significantly impacted by the new legislation and managed to bag an extension which expires this week.

The 'client' has offered me a fixed-term contract (with benefits, holiday etc) with the same role name as described when I operate through my PSC. The only difference is they've prefixed "Senior" onto the role name and changed the area of the business (previously worked on a specific work stream in a project, the FTC offer now suggests I'll be working on a Transformation portfolio) I'll be operating it (bear in mind the organisation is a fairly small bank)

Would this put me at risk of a retrospective review or would the job title have to change significantly, including the roles & responsibilities? I'd like to hear people's views.

Happy to answer any questions if any clarity is required.

Under your previous role/contract did you have benefits/holidays/etc from the client?

Is the new role substantially different to the old role? You say that the offer "suggests" something different. But is it?

Do you think a job title really changes anything?

Staying with the client puts you near the top of the risk scale. Doing the same or similar role puts you even higher. Both together puts you in the second most risky category after a straight outside inside contractor.

We've got a sticky describing the different situations and risks.

immaterial of the increased risk of investigation, how confident are you with the determination of your status up till now?
If very confident, and evidenced, then probably no big deal other than the stress/headache of an investigation.

If not confident, and without evidence, then what do you think you should do? Accept a higher risk of investigation or run away?

Sounds like you have been working inside IR35 all along but just self declared yourself outside ?

Who was revived existing setup ?
