The other point is that the laptop per project workaround was insane. My laptop isn't something that I could buy for every project (heck I don't want to move it unless I really, really have to)..Leave a comment:

A painter does the same except he or she brings physical materials.
Does that mean we now employ him rather than just pay for his work? ;-)Leave a comment:

People instantly on here suggested a laptop per contract and HMRC suddenly changed the explanatory text...
Personally because of one thing I do I have a stupidly high spec laptop (1tb m2 card, top of the range Nvidia card, 64gb ram). No end client would give me that and I would have to bodge the work and take days to do what currently takes me 30 minutes.Leave a comment:

I wonder if the client can ignore the explanatory text, due to:
1. it changes over time (often)
2. it simply dosent describe what the real situation is.
so go with the answer that fits best.

Originally posted by GDL View PostMaterials can be laptop, software, purchased process maps etc. I do not disagree with the statements about the purpose of ir35
items that form a lasting part of the work, or an item bought for the work and left behind when the worker leaves (not including stationery, and most likely to be relevant to substantial purchases in the construction industry)
Definition of equipment:
including heavy machinery, industrial vehicles or high-cost specialist equipment, but not including phones, tablets or laptops
Other expenses:
including significant travel and subsistence expenses (not including commuting) or the cost of a business premises outside of the home
Note also that the tool does not say "the worker DOES provide" but "the worker has to provide." If it is your option to use your own hardware, then you don't HAVE TO provide it. Your client can only include it if you have to provide it. My contracts always specify that the client will not provide computer equipment and MyCo has to provide it. That's self-evident since I WFH anyway, but I've had that provision in my contracts from the beginning because of IR35.Leave a comment:

Laptops are explicitly excluded in the explanatory text in one of the ESS questions...
