    This is actually a very good point. However I don't think its a case of clients thinking your working practices are now inside ir35 .... more like they couldn't give a monkeys now and didn't give it a moment's thought. Makes you wonder how an investigation would go for the many thousands in the financial services who basically works for clients who have banned PSC's. They can't really state that you used to be outside but because your pesky cowardly client banned all PSC's and you are still there then you must be inside....can they? Of course they can.

    Is that have to or half?

    Nothing wrong with pointing out the situation to people. If they are clueless to what they do then making them aware of the possible outcomes isn't a bad thing. Nothing untrue in the what he said and I've no doubt it will start to happen so it's a lottery but still knowing what you are letting yourself in for is good advice. Up to whoever it is reading to go away and looking to the levels or risk and making a decision themselves.

    You could argue it's the same people that don't know this that kinda caught the attention of HMRC so getting people to pull their finger out their asses in general isn't a bad thing either.

    To sit there and say screw it just carry on is the wrong way. IMO anyway.

    C. Neither - you ideally need to leave or put yourself in danger of retroactive action from HMRC (regardless of what they say).

    If this month you are "outside", and then next month "inside" for exactly the same role, then your "outside-ness" of all the time you have so far already spent working for the client becomes hard to defend.


    Even if your next role at a different client is inside IR35, that would be a better position to be in - you worked for the current client outside, you work for the next client inside - the two roles are different clients and not connected.


    A lot of people will no doubt be going down this same road - better to get on the merry go round of contractors changing roles, even if they are inside.

    You don't want to be at the same role next month with a switch from outside to inside.
    You don't have scare people, while most of them do this.

    Thanks a lot for your input.
    There were quite a few aspects here involved in the switch that I haven't been aware of (part of my wishful thinking I guess).
    Much appreciate your help.
    I don't think that's the right term to be using.

    You've got a week to leave so better buck up.

    That is not to be dismissed so trivially. An inside gig now could end in 3 months or less. 21 months lost outside is a considerable amount. I want to go outside but I can't is going to be a very common topic on here over the next year or even two. We've already had two to date. Many people my be better off MVL'ing and staying inside for two years. I'll bet many others won't.

    Take it all out, pay the tax, get over it. Slowly.
