24th Feb deadline for handing in your notice

Retro is the risk if you are deemed inside after April but probably only for the previous bit of the current contract (they don't need to know that though).

Personally I would be clear to them - outside and I'm happy to stay - inside its just not worth the risk....

That is pretty much my position. My IR35 status is my determination for the contract running until 31st March. If they want my services on other projects after 6th April then they would need to find me outside IR35.

I haven't had my previous contracts reviewed by QDOS or similar but am thinking of this and getting insurance (I realise both are a bit late)

Nobody I've spoken to has done either of these also - I think it's just not been known about for whole sectors. Certainly non-IT NHS stuff. I'm one of the free even stressing about all this - I guess despite me breaking the chain, it's worth doing reviews and insurance even if late re retro

What is this messaging to HMRC rubbish you are talking about?

We have to ask for a determination in case we have to make a payment past 6th April. In reality the determinations that matter will be for contracts starting 1st April as there is a very big natural cut off 31st March.

Not at all

If the OP is talking about what I think he is then most PS orgs are reviewing their Non perm staff's working practices which are for 16-17 but also determine the status moving forward. Failure to respond to these then the PS org HA|S to inform HMRC and failure to not respond for further evidence / assurance will also mean the PS org has to inform HMRC.

Basically anything other than a 'low' will mean they can inform HMRC IR35 team (I have this in writing)

If you decide to leave they have to inform HMRC, basically anything!

But they ARE paying the right taxes up until the 5th April under the contract that they are working to (at least if they had the contract review that passed the outside IR35 criteria and their working practices confirm this).

As they won't have a contract after this date to put through the new tool, there is nothing to compare against.

Not always the case. MoJ are asking for a review of ALL contracts of 6 months or more or over £220 per day. This is both retrospective and forward thinking and is NON Negotiable...

Crikey sounds far worse than my situation - all contractors should refuse to work for MoJ

Sadly very common but it doesn't make it right. You could argue that is the reason all this has dropped on us. You could also argue it would have been nice for those to get caught and leave the rest of us alone but let's not go there.

Then I'm very pleased not to be in those contractor's shoes...

I expect a lot of PSB and agencies will be doing similar for current contracts. Exactly as HMRC intended. I wonder if HMRC will be taking on contractors to deal with the amount of cases flagged for inspection?
