Staying in the same public sector contract after April 2017

[londonlad]

How about new agency but same organisation with new contract (working through Umbrella)? Does that bear red flag as well?

You need to look at https://www.gov.uk/government/public...eport-template (for that is the data HMRC have to play with). By the looks of it, it doesn't ask for client organisation details.

So plainly speaking it is ok to work with above scenario without flagging ourself to HMRC?

Yep based on the reporting tools its changing the Agency that is the most important bit....

Which in itself pretty much means that you're going to have to change roles/departments unless two agencies will get together and play swapsies....

Also assumes that HMRC cannot get their mitts on the evidence public sector bodies are required to produce to demonstrate tax compliance of their off payroll engagements.

I don't expect that there is a centralised list so will likely be too much hassle for them

Which is the worst among these two choices:

1 - PAYE as salaried employee via Agency
2 - PAYE via Umbrella

Umbrella as you have to pay their fees.

I think it depends on your pension requirements and what the agency offers.

No pension and direct via the agency is the best option want to put a lot into a pension via salary sacrifice and it will depend on what the agency is willing to do...

is there any extra risk from HMRC investigation point of view for any one of these options over the other ??

Don't forget if you are PS though and through a single option would be better. I'd much rather be via a single reputable brolly over a long period than changing agencies and the quality of their offering each time. For the sake of a certain amount of fees the umbrella would feel the safest to me.

And I can't see how either would pose any more risk than the other but relying on multiple agencies not to f**k up has to be thrown in.

Why would there be? You would be an employee in both...
