    I doubt HMRC would see it that way.

      To be a contractor, you work because you have signed a contract to do the work. Without the contract, you're just an OR.
      Nope definitely contractor. They wanted me to be permie but as they're based in the USA and I'm the only person who isn't then the paperwork hassle would be too much so I just send them an invoice every now and then, normally every couple of months as there isn't too much to do at the moment which is why I have two other contracts, for the work performed and for any expenses incurred. Quite a few of the other employees are not permies either and work on other projects at the same time plus also receive the bonuses depending upon how well the company has done, just a nice thing to do as we're all in it together (there's only about 7-8 permies anyway in a company of about 25 people)
