Applied for a job it is advertised as outside IR35 by agency. Spoke to agency to confirm and they are saying they are still waiting on confirmation form the client and a determination. Cautious that agency are misleading people. Am I right in thinking if the client determines the role outside then there would be no come back on me at a later stage as they make the determination...thanks

Thanks, if it’s not decided upfront I won’t be starting as I don’t want a muddle. My question was if the client gives an SDS as outside then there can be no claim back on me for taxes etc that would be on the client? Is that correct as I is now on client to decide the status ...so any error lies with them? Thank you ?Comment

In theory the error lies with them. However do be wary of contract clauses that look like they push any liability down to you, or clauses that state the determination may change in the future.
For the latter, I would expect the contract to be terminated and and a new one drawn up, not a sudden change in earnings because the client has changed their mind.Comment

that is to say, I would not recommend signing any outside IR35 contract that did not allow you to leave a little notice.

I think it's prudent to be wary of such clauses as that indicates the agency will do exactly what you describe.Comment

however, HMRC are clear in their “suggestion’ that the fee payer should try to recover the money from the contractor.
on other points - I suspect the only way to solve this problem is for the contract / schedule of work to explicitly state its outside of IR35 (as otherwise the IR35 is a not a contractual consideration because it’s a tax rather than business issue).
finally someone is currently (think it’s a Parliamentary committee) running a 6 month review on the IR35 implementation. It may be worth contractors finding it and keeping things simple state that the change to allow determinations to made after work has begun is too much of a risk for contractors, is already being abused and isn’t working.Last edited by eek; 31 October 2021, 09:26.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I don’t see how I could be liable for repaying any taxes as I’ve had nothing to do with the determination. That is solely the client deciding. Agency touting the role as outside. If client gives an outside SDS then surely that’s it the onus is on them...how can I be liable as I’ve had zip all to do with it ....surely if clients get to wrong contactless can’t in the frame that makes no sense to me...Comment
