why is there less risk in case of blanket ban.
Does HMRC have visibility to whether your company banned PSC or whether there was SDS and you were inside ir35?

Why are you asking daft questions like this at this point? You've got 1400 posts and been involved in these discussions enough. You cannot miss the posts about the levels of risk surely.

You just a troll?

then dont butt in with a response to the daft questions if you have nothing to say, nobody asked you to respond

I've got this theory that there's a voice in NLUK's head that is doing exactly that...

You're reading the numbers all wrong, if you base it on ratio of likes / thanks given / received then take 1400 into consideration you'll have a much better understanding, of the posters general understanding.

HMRC don't care that companies have banned PSCs, they will care if you go from outside to inside, more specifically, care very much if you do so whilst also staying with the same company. This can be identified by HMRC without even asking for (or being given) the SDS that the client has kindly made for you. But if you do enter the situation where HMRC care very much about what has occured, an inside SDS from the client will really not help matters when HMRC begin investigations. SDS is a risk in that it increases the hindrance to successfully batting away HMRC once an investigation is underway.

It's all about the data IMHO.

If they have the data to ID you as a 'fraud suspect', then you're at higher risk of being investigated. If they don't, then you're at lower risk of being investigated. This is just due to numbers of targets and costs to HMRC.

My ClientCo is not doing SDS AFAIK. Just everyone's contract ends 31st March, which makes sense as they don't have to bother. So, I don't know what an SDS looks like, but if it isn't provided to HMRC as structured data then this it is not likely to impact your risk of being investigated.

Once a human is involved then it's a different story.

Not a chance. No client would backup HMRC's claim. It's there to bat away complaints of PSC policy changes when in general discussion. They'd never put it out there as a point to be tested.

Possibly but that doesn't diminish the risk that HMRC could come knocking on the LTD's door wanting to have a closer look. It's not about the client anyway. That statement reverses what we though that inside to PSC ban put's you down the risk list for retrospective action. If HMRC think Outside to PSC is the same as outside to inside it bumps it up to possible 2nd place in the risk scale.

Roughly, budget for approx 1K a month unless you on an insane day rate
