Previously, having to manage company income and IR35 taxable income simultaneously, I changed my company salary to equate to my IR35 gig and let the company payroll sort out the tax side of things. Obviously all work was invoiced with VAT added at gross.
That would no longer seem to be an approach of course.So, like pension management, a simple process blown away for no real reason and replaced with endless complications.

Originally posted by Confounded View PostLet's say that I want to manage several engagements, where some are "in" and other are "out" of IR35, though my company. So, once again, what happens to VAT in such cases? Is there guidance from HMRC?
And one more: how to treat money that is paid by the agency to my Ltd for accounting purposes? If I put it through all as "salary" from the company to me, then this would give rise to Employer NI, but this, presumably, would have already been deducted and paid by the agency. What is the guidance from HMRC and proper accounting treatment?
Where you've got some inside and some outside IR35 work, I'd still question the logic of putting the inside stuff through your company. I don't see any benefits to the contractor of doing that over an umbrella, other than the (hopefully very small) risk that the umbrella company itself goes bust leaving you unpaid for some work. If I was a contractor with a mix of inside and outside IR35 work, I'd have a Ltd Co for the outside stuff, and use an umbrella for the inside stuff. Sure it's a bit of a faff paying for both, but to my mind it's the best option in that scenario.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by Confounded View PostWell, I am invoicing the agent, but still there is currently a VAT added on top. So, what will happen to this VAT if found to be inside IR35? Do I stop charging it? Is there a guidance from HMRC on this? If they still expect my company to charge VAT, how does it get treated for the process of working out NI and income?
Are you doing this now or asking for if/when IR35 hits? Invoicing through your limited isn't a great choice and many agents won't accept it.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by Confounded View PostWhat happens when my invoice to the end client includes 20% VAT? Is VAT still paid? By whom? Is it included in the total "deemed payment" to work out NI and income tax?

I'm inside now, and the client says I'm inside. What should I do?
Because the client / agency has to deduct tax and NI from your invoice before paying you net.
