    Still worth getting an IR35 review done by QDOS?

    Hi Folks,
    After quite some time inside IR35, I've been offered a new contract which has been defined (by the agency) as outside IR35. I've read through the contract and it specifically mentions I can take on other clients, there's no implied or overt D&C and the client will not seek to change that, I am able to send in a sub, there is no MoO from either side, and it even specifies deliverables. I'm pretty sure it's good from a contractual perspective.

    Before the whole IR35 mess I would get B&C or QDOS to review it. Is there any point in still doing this?

    The chain goes:

    My Ltd -> Agency -> Client -> Customer of client

    Client is a consulting company with many staff. ie not a small company, so I believe liability rests with them and/or the agency if HMRC come knocking.

    Cheers...

    Checked for one of these insidious clauses that attempts to place IR35 compliance liability back on the contractor?

    Personally, I doubt one would ever hold up in court but better to not have that concern hanging over you.

      Didn't see anything there, but I intend to go through it properly with a fine tooth comb. I always do that anyway, but usually do a belt and braces check with QDOS/B&C - seems like that might be a waste of money now though.

        doesn't your PI insurer offer a free IR35 review? QDOS do.

          I don't currently have PI as I'm insider IR35. I'll get it as a requirement of the outside gig, but until then it's a bit of a circular thing.

            You could go for one of the ones that do a full contract terms check, not just IR35. That way you've got the contract properly checked and a tick in the IR35 box whatever the answer to do you need it or not is. I can't remember the sites that do the proper checks sorry.

              Markel Tax is probably the best of the bunch for a proper review.
              Blog? What blog...?

                Bit Ironic that its the firm with Tax in their name that does the best review

                  No irony here, outside of IR35 arrangements pay a lot of tax that has to be properly calculated...

                    Bit like you need to avoid any company that has the word Quality, Premier or similar in their name. They never are. Premier Inn and Quality Hotels are perfect examples. If anyone has the misfortune of knowing the Quality Hotel in Coventry they really need taking to the Trade Descriptions people.
