I wish to pass IR35 legally - but my Contract falls inside.

[monkeyBoy32]

I had my first contract reviewed a while ago, there were good points and bad points - i.e. some of the contract could be seen to be inside and some of it could be seen to be outside ir35. The overall view was that it failed the review - it said it would be difficult to argue that the contract was outside ir35.

I am also a member of pcg. I advised my accountant that my contract was inside ir35 - is this what most of you guys would have done? (I know you'd need ot see the full details but based on what the contract review said etc..)

No - I'd have negotiated the bits that were inside IR35 so that they were outside IR35, and then worked to the contract.

I still get worried when people say they are PCG members then ask for advice on here. No problem asking us, of course, but I take it you realise you have also have access to free tax and legal helplines, discounted reviews and a set of fora written and run by the guys that worked out how to manage IR35 and who are actually quite good at it?

I'm with the Faqqer here - if you know the bad points, get them changed and work to them. Not much point is paying for a review otherwise, is there?

OK - Thanks - it's always useful to get as many opinions as possible I suppose. Next time I'll use PCG more then - I'm still a newbie to the whole contracting world so I'm still figuring a lot of stuff out..
