A couple of questions (and if the Search facility worked, I may have found the answers in a different post – so apologies in advance). How does the HMRC decide which contractors to investigate for IR35 status? And as contracts are confidential, how are they able to view details of a contract to decide which contractors to pursue?

They have the power to see any contract they want to; contracts are only commercially confidential anyway, they're not actually classified, but HMRC have a legal right of access.Blog? What blog...? -

Perhaps they could even target people if they know that a particular agency uses a broadly IR35 non-compliant contract. An easy win for HMRC with a list of targets already set out. It would destroy the agencies business utterly once the word got out though..Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment

They can also narrow down the search whereby the company answered yes to question 6 on the P35 that declares that you are a Personal Service Company.Comment
