Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostOn a very specific point of pedantry - No-one's allowed to deduct employer's NI from your earnings - that is an employer cost and must, by law be paid by the employer. In practice, as we see here, clients/agents just expect us all to take a rate cut to pay their employer NI , because they don't want to pay any extra taxes.
However the way it is currently done could still be legal I'm afraid even if it looks very dodgy.... That way is also how most of new inside IR 35 contracts in private sector are proposed to contractors right now so the overall best practice is not good. Add to that the economy aspect, the few roles available on the market and the number of candidates looking for job.
And lastly even if it's legal, at the end someone has to pay for the extra Employer NI. End clients don't want to increase their contractor cost. Agents don't want to explain to end client they need to uplift their rates cause they do not want risk to lose the client. So even if it's legal, we as contractor have to factor Employer's NI is our agreed rate.
At the end of the day and talking to lot of contractors around me it's a bit like take the job knowing you will have a big cut or wait for another one that might never come...Comment

Originally posted by mwounder View PostI'm in a similar position but going from outside to inside with a new contract so going via Umbrella. I'm keeping my Ltd company...it's a pain paying up £75pm for little but gives you that option still. Speaking to experts in the field, they expect things to calm down in 12-18 months but let's see. There's still a lot of outside contracts in the public sector.
Good luck'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostAnd what is your opinion on the fact you were inside all along and might have to pay it all back by staying?
I counter-offered and ask for a better rate but fully in from day 1 to avoid risks in regards of HMRC.
Regarding keeping or not my LTD I don't know...I'm working in banking and right now most of the offers are IN. Very few OUT roles there...Comment

From HMRC...and as you say it's dependent on trusting them but I need to work:
HMRC will not open a new compliance enquiry into a contractor’s return for tax years before 6 April 2021 in circumstances where:
a client decides that a contract is within the off-payroll working rules (IR35)
a contractor changes the way they work from providing and invoicing services through an intermediary entity to now being paid via a client or end user’s payroll
a contractor ends a contract because they disagree with a client decision on status
This includes any decisions that clients may have already made to prepare for the April 2020 changes, which have now been delayed.
Pretty stressed about it all to be honest.Comment
