Dave Chaplin has posted on Linkedin that HMRC are already retrospectively investigating public sector contractors who have taken PAYE roles since the implementation of the new rules in the public sector. So much for HMRC's statements to the contrary. So in reality, whatever situation you find yourself in from April 2020, you will not be spared an IR35 retrospective investigation. Time to prime the weapons I think!

I would imagine going outside to inside in the same role or just accepting inside roles after having operated exclusively outside beforehand will certainly increase the chances of a retrospective investigation.Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostDave Chaplin has posted on Linkedin that HMRC are already retrospectively investigating public sector contractors who have taken PAYE roles since the implementation of the new rules in the public sector.

I'm quitting my gig on 28 Feb and will be looking for another outside role. How long I'll be on the bench is anyone's guess. -
Really, why is anyone surprised by this?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Generally, from what I can see, he has achieved much more than any other organisation, including that one which claims to represent the interests of many contractors.I wish he was more cautious with his wordsComment
