Hi all,
I have read through the threads and found it all very informative. I would, however, like further information.
My situation.
I started working in March on a 6 month contract directly with a client (no agency) under PAYE providing accounting services. I have now setup a Limited company and intend to work through the Ltd company from 11 Aug 08 (backdated). The client is fine with this.
The new contract will probably be for 4 months only, but will not be for a set period as it is dependant on work load. I will seek another contract elsewhere once this contract is complete.
IR35 issues:
1) I work varying hours depending on work load.
2) I have no set starting/finishing hours/lunch break
3) I dictate the hours I work
4) I am on college intranet
5) I am covering for a permanent employee who is on sick leave and another permanent employee who works 3 days a week. When they return I will no longer be required.
6) I work 95% at client premises, 5% from home
7) While at client premises, I use their equipment. At home I use my own.
I will need to provide a contract for the client to sign. Any idea what this should state? Or who I should seek to obtain further information.
I have employed accountants, Danbro, and they have provided the company setup and other maintenance but are limited (I think) in terms of IR35. Based on the above, would I be in or outside IR35?
I will invoice the client, probaly fortnightly, and as mentioned above it will be for varying amounts. I will be Vat (flat rate) registered.
Is it worth becoming a member of PCG?
Is it worth getting contractor insurance?
Any other advice on the above and other issues I need to address would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
