Originally posted by Ardesco View PostNope, company secretary signs all of mine. Can't be IR35 if I'm not on the contract at all IMHO
My thinking is that it would be seen by HMRC as purely another element of a "sham" Ltd Co model contract, particularly if the Co Sec is family, rather than actually seen as a valid reason why the contract is outside IR35.Comment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostThe logic is that if your name appears nowhere on the contract it will be a lot harder to prove the personal service element of IR35. You still need someone to sign on behalf of the company though, who has to be an office of the company: hence director or CoSec.
