Other contractors putting me at risk?

[gingerjedi]

For example I've managed to get the word 'Contractor' onto my ID pass. The client didn't have a problem with this, but I was the 1st person to ask for it...

I have contractor on my ID pass but is this really going to make any difference? I work at a gov department and they are not advertising the post I fill and they want a contractor in it, how can HRMC possibly deem me as employed in that circumstance? They really should start targeting the client and the agency on this rather than just saying you are employed, but then it would only be a mater of time before clients will insist on only using IR35 caught contracts.

It makes me mad how they can insist you are employed when there is no permanent role, this is the client’s decision yet the contractor will be the one who has to carry the can, it stinks.

What about being with the same client but working on different sites? It has nearly been 2 years since I first began with my current client, originally through Parasol IT Umbrella and Agency, then Direct with the client using Giant Powerhouse (MSC) and more recently directly B2B through my own Ltd.

1.Can i assume expense claims should cease 24 months after i started with my client period (irrespective of my payroll status)?

2.Also will the fact that i have spend greater than 2 month periods on different client sites on numerous occasions make any difference?

3.I have moved around different locations based on where my client sends me, does this circumvent the 24 month rule?

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. No

If you're out of IR35, you're out. No need to worry what others do. They are not going to screw you because somebody else is pushing the boundaries, try as they might
