Two roles, same client.

[northernladuk]

I have the opportunity of taking a new gig and also doing some call off consultancy in a totally different area of the client. I was hoping to have a single generic contract between our businesses but have a SoW for each role inc deliverables. Would it be better to be pedantic and have a seperate contract from each so HMRC cannot deny there are two distinct parallel pieces of work? I thought two SoW would have covered that? I am coming from an IR35 angle here. Client doesn't seem to mind what I do contract wise so good opportunity to do it properly. Am direct btw.

And the important points...
I haven't had parallel contracts so I am not cut out at the moment
I did ask my accountant
Have read guides to right
Have done a search
I am indeed a disgrace to contracting

I've done something similar. I had one generic contract covering MyCo's role as a supplier, and then created new SoW's for each different area of work. Many suppliers will have a one-off contract and then different SoW's, or contract addendums each time they are required to deliver new work.

I wanted to +rev you for your important points list, but I have to spread it around first. Made me chuckle though!

Have you tried sending NLUK a message, he seems pretty clued up on questions

[jamesbrown]

Having two separate SoW sounds fine. The main thing is to have the deliverables agreed upfront, whether that's in two separate contracts or two SoW. The number of projects or agreement of deliverables isn't part of D&C (as opposed to being generally available to do things as they come up, whether on one project or multiple projects). You're going to get the contract reviewed anyway, I'm sure.

Try using the search box or even google, you clearly are not cut out for contracting.
