Also some agents might be in a dodgy/corrupt agreement with clients. For example they both tell you a certain rate and it looks like the agent is making the regular 15%. However in reality the agent is making 5 times that.

No, why would they be any different from commercial contracts?Originally posted by Jog OnJust out of interest do government contracts all fall inside IR35?Science isn't about why, it's about why not.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

There was a guy on here who works on the HMRC help desk and he was happily ignoring IR35, my contract is with an agency and the government department had no say in what was in it I just provide the service they asked for.
As said before IR35 is a state of mind, just think and act as a company providing a service rather than an employee.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
