Hello all, I'm in the process of securing a new contract (outside of IR35) and the SDS returned outside IR35. The client has accepted this (I walked through the determination with them) and we will have a letter drafted confirming their acceptance as well as desired outcomes and deliverables. We're also going to run through the tool again immediately post-April 6th to confirm working practices marry up to the inputs. We're going to work on a T+M basis because of the uncertainty COVID-19 will bring to delivery (I was going to do a fixed-price SoW, but that would expose me to significant risk that I'm not able to quantify [given we've never had a global pandemic to deal with before]).
Above and beyond this, would it be advisable to put anything else together should HMRC come knocking in the future? In the Business/Contracts channel (see https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...ract-cest.html) it was suggested not - but I'm open to challenge on this. Happy to pay for independent counsel if required (the QDOS questionnaire has been suggested by a peer of mine).
