Agency "perks"?

[Mustang]

Just wondering about something that occurred recently. The agency I am with has suddenly announced that they are currently investigating 'offers and initiatives from 3rd part suppliers'.

Any thoughts on this? Not sure I would ever use some of them but in the interim even expressing an interest stikes me as being dangerously close to a "staff perk" and therefore to be avoided at all costs since it would draw me closer to IR35. What do the rest of you think? Any comments or am I getting HMRC paranoid?!

HMRC paranoia sets in.

I've come to the opinion of "**** them". If I get audited and found guilty of anything I will contest it, go bankrupt, get a crap job in McDonalds and a Co-op bank account and live happily ever after in a council dive.

YOu could sell advice like that for good money

Forget the Macdonalds bit and set yourself up as HR consultant!
