MPs Ex-Ministers negotiate their day rate with potential clients

[ladymuck]

If I had a paid weekend/evening sideline helping people with their computer problems, separate to my full time job as an IT expert (say), would that extra work be subject to IR35 because I'm also employed to do something similar by a completely different entity? What happened to considering each engagement separately on its own merits?

Many moons ago, when I had a permie job, one of the chaps who worked at the company was doing some work on the side - for the company! He registered as self-employed and put the extra income on his SATR rather than through the payroll. Technically, it should have been put through the payroll but some agreement was come to with the Finance Director which I suspect meant that there was a fiddle going on as the FD had a bit of a reputation for creative accounting.
