In what way can it mitigate??

One has no bearing on the other, IR35 is all about contracts and working practices."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

The Ltd Co also has limited liability (that's what the "ltd" stands for). In what way would limited liability be MORE risky?Originally posted by rob78 View PostIs there any advantage to trading through an LLP vs LTD co i.e. does the fact that the LLP by definition has limited liability and is therefore more risky to the members in anyway mitigate IR35 regulation?Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

No advantage at all as has been said.
With a LLP, this is more suited to a business with more than one person, as it is a partnership it is hard to set one up if there is just one of you!Comment
