Bringing Hector Down From The Inside

I guess this is one of the few occasions when you would actually ask HMRC to review your contract and proposed working conditions and give you an opinion regarding IR35. If they say it's IR35 caught then ask for a 40% increase to cover that.

HMRC should be investigated regarding its current use of contractors. If any of them are found to be under the supervision of HMRC personnel, then HMRC is IR35-caught and will have to pay itself a massive fine.

Just got off the phone about a gig at HMRC in Newcastle, all pretty standard except they mentioned a "project specific clearance", I advised them I am fully SC, in date and active but they said this is required.

Anyone got any info on what to expect? As so far things are "feeling iffy" as they seemed to spend more time on explaining the clearance side than the actual work.

Right. A gig at HMRC. That's like a girl scout going round to Paul Gadds house offering to do some cleaning.

Steer well clear.

Its ok, I'll pretend the contract works like the rep system so I'll just sign off the contract MF

I saw this article a few months ago, made me laugh, think the times or daily mail made quite a bit out of story (the pay as opposed to IR35)
