I just started at a local authority, over 220/day, gig for 3 months but likely to go on for a while... Accountant has reviewed contract and offered to supply any documents should they be asked for.

Also investing heavily in plan B all through same LTD....

Plan b ?

Plan b ?

A long term plan followed by many contractors usually involving expansion, specialism change or creating passive income. Plan B's are run alongside the usual Plan A of contract invoicing.

I think the only response to that can be:-

I used to think you were clever until you opened your mouth.

Your first question placed the thought in my mind. Your second comment confirmed it.

But its not Hilarious. If your original market is disappearing or becoming riskier investing in a new sector is what any sensible business would be doing to mitigate risk.

And thanks to typical politician statements without thinking they have fixed one immediate problem but jeopardized all future IT systems and projects.

You asked, I answered. Many contractors have a Plan B.

Not hilarious at all. And I'll ask you to read the thread on behaviour on the Professional forums.

I just took a walk from my last contract with a gov dept. Seems i took the right decision, just heard from a mate still working there they are asking him to provide evidence of his deemed payments or he will be referred to HMRC for business entity tests. That might might a few people clench. I wasnt expecting it to be as bad as this, I thought theyd accept a QDOS review or similar. But no, they expect you to be inside IR35 or prove otherwise. Do you think a typical HR bob will accept a QDOS review rather than complying with the procedures their paymaster has set.

Nevermind, the exodus has begun. Everyone is walking. Give it a month and ill offer to go back at double my original rate, and make my deemed payments out of that.

I think the only meaningful response to a request from HR to prove your contractor status would be to inform them that you don't deal with HR since you're not an employee / human resource but a supplier. If they don't like that, tell them to get someone with the actual authority to terminate your Ltd's contract to contact you.

I don't think she was going for hilarity, she was just answering your question.
