    Because the Dole Office might catch you and throw the book at you.

    Or just forgo the bottle of Bollinger RD with the evening meal and slum it with a Veuve Clicquot or something instead.

    Problem is though, as already pointed out, IR35 is about each contract, not how you view your business.
    I had a few days this week working with the rest of my project team, in the same place, and somehow it came up in passing.

    It would certainly seem to fail the business test, but not IR35, I guess is the upshot.

    This is true but if you are in a situation where 50 quid a week means something to you and you can deal with the morals/ethics of it it does (arguably) appear it is possible. Question is would you be daft enough to humiliate yourself on a forum of your peers by being proud of doing it and defending it.
