Originally posted by TheRealSlartibartfast View PostI am (soon to be) new to contracting and could really do with some advice regarding how to avoid IR35. I've contacted a number of companies who claim
to offer up to 90% of rate and be outside the IR35. These take the form of a monthly loan which is never paid back. So are these legit or will the HMRC come calling and are they the same as EBTs that are mentioned on this site.
Say you've had the contract reviewed and send it back to the Client Co (or more likely agency) with changes and see what they come back with. I get the impression most will be quite happy to provide "IR35 Friendly" contracts as most contractors are Limited* and need them. *citation needed
They'll either incorporate the suggested changes and everyone's happy, or they'll say "No Changes" at which point it's up to you how to proceed, tell them you're walking or accept the contract and the risk that if HMRC investigate whilst the contract is still in place then you may need to stock up on lube and a bit for between your teeth. But probably very unlikely to be fair.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

Perhaps if we post a link to lube, he might show more interest.
What concerns me is that he's answered his own question - the scheme promoters have no liability and won't be around in five years. The contractor takes all the responsibility for their own greed and the promoter simply acts as someone who socially engineers the contractor.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
