Hi all
Had a call from a former colleague/ongoing friend who left the same company (that I'm leaving on Friday), but she left several months earlier. She's been doing ok for contracts since she left and recently she checked in with a contact from a previous client that she (and I) had delivered in to a couple of years ago. They may have work for her, and me.
She said to me that she'd suggest doing it through her company with me as a sub-contractor. She was hoping it would be outside IR35*. I'm figuring if I'm her sub-contractor, I may actually be deemed to be inside IR35 even if she wasn't. She's making an assumption that since it's a clear defined piece of work, working to deliver specific deliverables, that it would without doubt still be outside IR35 for me too - I'm not sure I think that's right and I think was possibly partly referenced in my first post on here. I'd take you guys advice on it. And presumably then she would have to be the one to go about determining status.
*I actually think it will be deemed inside anyway, it's public sector, I can't see them doing it outside but I want to be ready to rebut wrong assumptions if by some magical act, it is deemed outside, the work appears and we had to get ready to go ahead. In the which case, wouldn't we just each deliver our individual deliverables through our own individual limited companies? Do clients go for something like that??
