Within IR35 and you get taxed twice or am I being really stupid?

I suggest you get a permie job!

I knew Id get those sort of replies, trust me Im not stupid and have pretty good commoon sense but my whole working life has been PAYE, not need to know how any of the other stuff works and seeing as there is a lot to learn in one big lump sometimes I just got a bit confused, I can honestly admit it really was quite obvious in the end as soon as someone said the CT tax is on profit.

Dont forget we cant all be experts in everything.

Blimey you lot are strict, I'll admit I'm a stickler for spelling but I didn't know we took grammar to heart on here, note taken

From what Ive been reading it may be difficult for me to fall OUT of IR35, my job is a software tester but I will try and peak to some other software testers and see how tnhey get round it, just seems the nature of what i do would put me within IR35 from the definitions Ive seen. Obviously I do need to do more research though.

I'm not sure why you think being a software tester puts you inside of IR35.
I'm a Test Analyst and me and my accountant both think I'm outside IR35*.
It's down to the contract\way of working.

*Obviously doesn't mean that the IR would necessarily agree

Just mainly the way I have seen IR35 work all the Software tester contractors Ive known have been just like employees, Ill try my best to get out of it though

In IT, one wrong character can bring down a whole system. Hardly anyone understood your post until it was corrected.

Yes, a suprising oversight for a 'Tester' for whom accuracy should be paramount .... you're not working in software testing for Air Traffic control systems are you?

I will be going through checking all of your posts later, I'll put together an excel doc with all the mistakes and expect them fixed by COB Wednesday
