I don’t know where you get this idea that I live in Spain, I don’t. I do, however, spend a few months there each year usually, well within the 90 day rule. In fact just around 80 days in 2025....

So, finally my security screening appears to be coming to an end and I'll be free to go 'on site' (my home office) from early next week it seems.
Aside from the cash, I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle again and building on my long track record of delivery for my client....Last edited by oliverson; 28 November 2025, 20:17.

^^^^Permie disguised as contractor right here!!! ^^^^
Throwing in the Brexit reference as well. Laughable. Is it any surprise that HMRC thinks we are all disguised employees with this kind of thinking/approach?...Last edited by oliverson; 28 November 2025, 19:46.

Yes I am and I've had no offers prior to these two in several months, so how can this be 'the same cycle'?
So, irrespective of whoever did the SDS (still yet to see one), the client has provided assurance that the role has been determined as outside IR35 by a dedicated external legal time....

Work is never work until it's over the line, as I am now finding.
'Offer 1' - consultancy client when asked for SDS is reporting that their client has provided one! Contract assessment has also failed IR35. Several contractors are already on site.
'Offer 2' - agent has no idea...
