Hi -
I recently started a contract, outside of IR35 - but it is likely that the client (UK based) may want an extension which will be from late March 2021 for another 6 months. However - with the new IR35 determination rules, is it possible that the contract may be deemed as inside IR35 after April 5 2021 ? - or will it automatically remain outside as it is not a new contract ?
If an extension could potentially place it inside IR35 then it makes more sense for me to refuse such an extension, and take a contract with an overseas client instead since I hear that the new rules cannot be applied to overseas clients... ( I'm in a discipline where I have this option and there seems more work than people to do it right now.)
Cheers!!
