Is Santa IR35 exempt?

[Denny]

He has to conform to a dress code, works on the client premises (grotto) and is directed in the hours he has to work, e.g. only working during December and climbing down chimneys on Christmas Eve. However, the duration of the contract is short and he has no notice period.

But he doesn't charge for his services. I don't think that Hector is going to follow up the BIK for all those mince pies he's eaten...

Lots of simultaneous customers world wide.

To be fair the dress code is His Cos and not his clients (I don't tell him what to wear).

If I'm naughty he doesn't have to give me anything - MOO Also, I am not obliged to send him a list of pressies.

If I do ask him for a new bike (rough spec) he gets to choose the colour and accessories (bell, stand, spokey dokeys etc) D+C

Since I'm not actually awake when he comes (otherwise he doesn't) he could well send an elf as a substitue and I wouldn't object as long as I got my bike.

So I think he's clear.

Actually the reason he wears read is down to Coca Cola so it's not strictly his dress code...

Santa is a Disney character, so he dresses as his client tells him.

Sorry to disappoint you Denny but I think you'll find that Santa doesn't exist and the customers do pay for the goods.

If the non-existance of Santa surprises some of you then I am sorry but you had find out sometime.

I thought Gordo was interested in fairy tales not reality and doesn't he treat us all like children?
