How do you invoice now if a contract is within IR35?

[wilaxo]

I have a contract which maybe deemed in IR35. I usually invoice the company for £5000 per month.

If the contract is deemed in IR35 I understand the company will take tax/national insurance from this amount, however my companies invoice still shows £5000 to be paid, how do I show on my end why I didn't get paid £5000?

I invoice through my limited company, I receive a payslip from my company.

I don't understand how my limited company can show it has received less due to this and account for that when the amount being taken off is related to me as an individual not the limited company.

You need to read more on what IR35 means and the implication of it. The most pertinent in relation to your post is that you will likely no longer invoice via your Ltd company, but you will be PAYE either via the client, agency or be asked go via an Umbrella.

Do you understand the difference and the different implications of moving to PAYE? Even if your client/agent allows payments to go via your Ltd company (have you asked them?), it will be payed net of taxes due. You will no longer be invoicing £5000.

This is really something for your accountant, so ask them how to account for a deemed direct payment, but here is how to do it in FreeAgent, by way of example (procedures focus on the Public Sector rules but should be illustrative for the upcoming rules and other software too):

I assume this is a joke post, but in the off chance its not....

You don't invoice for inside roles, it has nothing to do with your limited company (for the those who will come back with yes you can invoice an inside role thought your limited company show me an agency who will willingly work this way).

You are employed by your umbrella company and they invoice on your behalf

There is no reason why you can't use your limited company with deemed payments.

That would allow you to appeal an SDS determination and potentially return to outside IR35

However if the contract is definitely inside I would suggest moving to an umbrella company as it will be cheaper.

Fairpay are £30 a month if you don't care about a pension that much, Clarity is more but would be recommended if you do care about putting money into a pension scheme.

As I said, you can go through the ltd co with deemed payments as you say, however show me an inside role where the agency is happy for this to happen

Sadly I don't think it is but can't fathom how on earth someone is responsible for their own income bringing in upwards of 60k a year has to ask a question like this without attempting to do a bean of research themselves. Just mind blowing.

I wonder what the OP knows about the risks about moving inside to outside in the same gig.

It's a simple fact that a large number of contractors are/soon-to-be-were disguised employees and have become accidental directors because it was the most tax efficient method (at the time) of extracting funds from the company. They had/have no intention of being business owners.

Under the new rules as an agency I wouldn't be insisting on an umbrella at any company that doesn't have a blanket ban on PSCs. For HMRC have changed how SDSs should be issued and that could open a whole new world of pain for the agency...
