If you get investigated then the contract would not be enough even if it deems you outside of IR35.

To be trully seen as being outside of IR35 would be to show:

- Flexible working. You work the hours you want to work. You dont turn up at a set frequency day in, day out.
- Working from home
- Using your own car for site vists rather than a company/pool car
- use of your own mobile phone
- using and providing your own PPE
- not using the set standard (if there is one) and instead using your own.
- not turning upto team briefs/social events etc
- not wearing a uniform
- anything else which creates financial risk for you as a company

etc etc etc...........

I am as above apart from the fact I can't work from home as I have no link to their secure network and on occasion I need to visit client’s desks.

thing is in a real investigation they look at your contract, chuck it away and they see how you have actually been working

..

I am on a project that has a crazy turnover of people, in the event of an investigation one day WHO would they speak to to find out your working practices? Surely they don't take your word for it.... faces change around here from week to week. Just wondering thats all....

According to this http://calculator.contractoruk.com/

My income would drop to 50% net

I am currently getting about 68% through a brolly.

I am not sure what I will be getting through my new Ltd but it better be somewhere nearer the later figure.

Anyone know what the likely figures would be through a ltd inside and outside assuming a 50k annual income without expenses for ease of comparison?

Dont worry if you cant work from home, not everyone can. Try to seperate yourself by other means from the perm workforce. Like using your own laptop or when communicating with people (bosses, managers etc) use your companies headed paper for letters......or compliments slip.

Theres alot of small things you can do which are minimum effort.
