I got an inside on repeat contracts which are clearly outside. Fortunately for me, my client is "small" so it's not an issue. My clientB which is equivalent to servicing the photcopier got an undecided.
Is that on the new shiny version? I know you like to road-test each time it gets a tweak

Aye - new questions on IPR, whether you have to spend dosh before being reimbursed, whether your contracts are back to back, whether you have other clients etc.

I can just about see back to back contracts as eventually everyone may become complacent.
Other clients is however completely irrelevant given the case law regarding the specialist who was found to be inside and unable to claim expenses for a 1 afternoon a week consultancy job at another NHS trust.

So that's you being penalised for getting repeat business. Who makes this cr@p up?
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Look at it from the other direction - a lot of contractors are replacement for permanent staff. And someone who is continually renewed and accepts such renewals does look very similar to a permanent member of staff.
On one side it's penalising repeat business on the other side the purpose of these IR35 changes is to discourage firms from using limited company contractors as a replacement for permanent staff.
I have repeat business but often with a good few years in-between contracts. It's would be disappointing to be tarred with the same brush as someone on a perpetual rolling 6 month contract

Large complex IT projects take about 3 (up to 5) years to deliver on average*. If companies used permies exclusively and planned to sack most of them after delivery the severance bill would be quite crippling.
