I think most contractors via LTD's know they are pushing their luck if they remain at the same client 2+ years.
However, it doesn't matter how long you're with a client if umbrella as you're not a target.Comment

Id argue very few appreciate the problems a long gig can cause.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Did 4.5 years once. Regretted it later. Wished I had travelled more and spent time at more clients. That’s in a 21 year period of contracting. It’s was local and I got comfortable.Comment

14 years so far. But it is just two days per week. Since I'll be training some permies to hand over to, I expect it to be over by the year end. But maybe not. I know a contractor who was supposed to do just that. As soon as he got someone trained up, he'd leave. So they renewed his contract. He stayed until he retired - bought a villa in Turkey and retired there back in 2005.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

But when it comes to IT, people go out of their way to put down and vilify the contractors who have managed to sustain long term working relationships. So long as you don't allow yourself to become part & parcel, then there is no reason why you can't remain outside IR35 on long term arrangements.Comment
