IR35 has written on the tin, that it is supposed to prevent the situation when an employee of the company (but I understand in this case it was an umbrella) on Friday, becomes a contractor on Monday. From your first post you said that going PSC is a tax effective option, so that suggests the arrangement has nothing to do with working practices etc and you won't suddenly become a legitimate business that does this sort of projects.

I guess even with the CEST tool basis being unsupportable, it doesn't look that good a proposition if under a magnifying glass from the revenue. End of the day, its only a few grand.....

If it's only a few grand saving, it's not as if HMRC will bankrupt you if they come looking. All they'll say is, "give us that few grand", to which you shrug and say "OK".
The risk you have here is purely down to additional costs of a LTD running for longer. But I doubt that will be huge.
The ones who fear HMRC the most are the ones with many years under the same contract. Short term stuff I doubt that HMRC will bother with anything more than a cursory glance at the contract. And it's not like they'll look within the six months, it's going to be in 2/3 years time or later. So worry if you're still there.See You Next TuesdayComment
