IR35 for a new limited company

[northernladuk]

Yes I'm in a contract atm

Did you have it checked by QDOS and the like to determine the IR35 status?

[northernladuk]

As usual you missed the best one...

It's for members only so it's not the best one to suit the OP.

[Cirrus]

they (accountant agency) ask is "a confirmation of your IR35 status".

Tell them you are not IR35. The whole point of contracting is to avoid IR35. Almost every contractor is theoretically subject to IR35 but it's a bit like how many drivers ring up the Police to confess they were breaking the speed limit? The coppers have quite a few cameras but HMRC have hardly any.

They sent me QDOS link to have a look at it with them...Qdos provides lot of services and dunno which one to choose.

No it's not. All IPSE's guides are open to anyone and have been for some years.

How can the whole point of contracting (through an intermediary) be to avoid the intermediaries legislation?

There are some features of your engagement which will no doubt point toward your contract being within IR35 and your turnover being subject to a deemed salary calculation and others which will point to your contract being outside of IR35.

You should be aware of these and having a professional review of your contract would certainly be the first step in determining which of the main three areas are present in or mitigated by your contract.

You would also do well to consider your actual working practices and your relationship / integration with your client as these will have significant bearing on whether your current engagement would be considered to be inside or outside of IR35.

Yes, serious brain fade there.

No idea where that came from - BUT the two key ones - the Guide to Freelancing (which does cover a lot of IR35 ground) and the Guide to IR35 in the Public Sector - are open to all and well worth a newbie reading carefully.
