Contract Help - IR35

[Henrik67]

I did, I still do, and that's not what I said above.

You made it clear the purpose of the clause is a box tick exercise when I told you to do a assessment of your options against realistic scenarios when you would expect to use the clauses.

Decide your attitude to risk and proceed accordingly. There's not much anyone else can tell you. You are running a company not a school tuck shop.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated. It isn't a tick box I either scenario isn't great for me so I don't have a preference from a business perspective, hence looking at it from HMRC view is the deciding factor.

I am just looking for the option that the tax man would hate the least!

You're over-thinking it. The tax man would hate you using the substitution clause because that blows his IR35 case out of the water.
