Key words: "Changing an actual employer does reset the clock".
The scenario I described is:-
ASB works for EDS and they send him to an office in the city for 23 months. He resigns and goes to work for Accenture, they send him to an office in the city. I believe the change of actual employer does reset the clock (but this is not covered in 490).
I was in exactly this situation in my investigation in 1995 and the inspector raised comment but did not disallow it - might have been an error on his part though. At this point the period was 12 months not the 24 months it was changed to in 1998.
If I am not mistaken then switching umbrellas is a change of actual employer. The taxman will get his arse in his handbag but would possibly have to use Ramsey to disallow it.
Very clear. But my respect for Hector and his claws would diminish considerably if he let you keep up the same activity but pretend not to just by starting another Ltd Co.
