So this is developing interestingly, their CERT results differ from my CERT results. One of the points is
If the client was not happy with your work, would
you have to put it right?
I say yes, on the basis that the contract wording explicitly calls out liability on my part for just such an occurence, and they go into the fine print on insurance docs to check that this is the case. And in my day-to-day, if there is a mistake, I will work evenings and weekends to put it right. I've done this, and can evidence it.
I think that HMRC might very well have engineered this situtation deliberately, to lead reviewers to answer on the basis of day-to-day operations, rather that reviewing on the basis of what the contract says.
--------
Separate point - thinking ahead. I asked them what was the risk they are trying to mitigate? And they said that they want to be squeaky clean.
I'm next going to have a risk avoidance conversation with them. Which makes me think I need to flip my OP question around.
If inside later becomes determined by HMRC as outside, who feels the pain then?
So if I were to appeal in some way, and HMRC uphold the position that I should not be inside IR35, and I continue working. Presumably agent would need to start paying gross again, but is there any financial impact for agent and clientco?Last edited by CalmEddie; 20 February 2020, 10:50.Comment

Correct defective work
If the client was not happy with your work, would you have to put it right?
"we don't ask contractors to do that, we still just pay them anyway"
No - "We don't ask contractors to do that, we just terminate the contract"Comment
