    Fellow contractors attitutes to IR35

    Would the PCG support something like this? My view is that the agency has the responsibility - they write both contracts, and will not allow me to see the Agency / Client contract.

    Reporting Tax Abroad

    When I worked in NL, I advised the UK tax office, and they sent me a letter advising me that I did not have to pay UK tax's ( should have framed it :wink) Have you got something similar? I don't think it makes any difference though, if you are non resident for tax, you don't have to pay UK...

    Working abroad

    If you negotiate the accom and travel with the agency they will only pass it on to the client. But your contract will be with the agency, and so they would be the correct people to agree the terms with. Pete

    Contract durations and IR35

    Personally I take it that from a business point of view, why would I sever a contract to supply a service with a client, just to satisfy a nebulous view from HMRC - as a business, if someone wants my services, I am happy to supply.

    Paying someone on a non-regular basis

    If he is happy with the deductions then you could pay him via a salary, but you will need his P45/P46? Otherwise you can just pay him the gross amount, and he will need to declare it as income on his personal tax return Pete Pete
