Do you think you will be investigated ?

[Troll]

What worries me is that I'll get investigated 5 years down the line when I've forgotten all about what I was doing on this contract.

just close your company down after 3

No you wouldn't. Most of my female staff fall for my charms

Would you discuss Fermet's theory on a first date?

No,

last UK contract was in 2002 so no chance.

Just wondered how paranoid people are about being IR35 investigated ?

Even though Im pretty much outside of IR35, I'm still worry about it, sometimes I dont think about it other times it keeps me up at night thinking could I lose everything... would they make me declare myself bankrupt resulting in never being able to work in my sector again. Some people I know dont break a sweat even though there still doing loans and trust etc.

Why are you going to lose everything !? If you lose an IR35 case you are basically paying back the NI that you saved in the first place, plus interest, plus a possible penalty percentage that doens't seem to be applied. This should not bankrupt you, if it will you are living beyond your means. Don't stay in one contract for years and put something away to cover the worst case scenario.

Where is the "I've already been investigated" option?

Shirley that's the best idea, ne c'est pas?

Are their small public sector commie brains capable of reasoning that it makes more sense to investigate a target with a larger potential liability? Do your chances increase/decrease according to their potential take from an investigation? Does anyone know?

Not categorically, but anecdotal evidence & common sense suggest this is the way they will target their operations
