From the first hit on google: "IR35 does not apply in circumstances where there would be no ordinary liability to PAYE, i.e. where the worker is non-resident and the work is performed outside the UK. "

And here's another one, from the client's perspective:
"We are the UK-based End User of a Contractor who is tax resident in a country outside the UK and doesn’t provide any services in the UK. Do we need to determine the Contractor’s status?
IR35 does not create any new tax liabilities – it only applies if there would be a PAYE and/or NICs liability if the Contractor was engaged by the End User directly as an employee.
Where the Contractor is both tax resident outside the UK and performing all their services outside the UK, there is generally no PAYE or NICs liability in respect of that individual. This means you would not need have to carry out a status determination."

To be clear, I'm talking about non-UK (i.e. overseas) tax residents (and neither am I talking about how to leave the UK from a tax residency perspective). For the avoidance of any confusion, this isn't some tax dodge for people who live in UK. And as I said, I have no doubt that agencies and clients will be 'unwilling' for various reasons.
