    Self assessment dividend question

    Hi, I'm coming to do my self assessment for 2019/20. I am a director of my own company, so I've paid myself dividends periodically. I paid myself a small dividend at the end of that year although I just realised I paid it after my self assessment year end (by 30 days). This means it will now...

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    Any advice on contract review providers? IPSE is 160+vat although they use Abby Tax which, on their own website advertises double that. Qdos is a lot less.

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    Thanks. I can sort this out. The only thing which really vexes me is the substitution rule. HMRC explicitly state that the client must not care to one day or another who turns up/does the work. How can this work in practice and be agreed to? If I was doing a repetitive job which didn't require...

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    It was an initial 3 month contract. I then agreed to extend it, after which point I started to become aware of the complexities of all this, I then used their online tool to check my status which was "inconclusive", and they advised speaking to them directly, so I did. It's through an agency...

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    How is it fraud, and how have you reached the conclusion that i'm lying?

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    How would they actually know this though? The discussion was in person, so there's no proof. In fact how do they investigate any of this? Do they go through peoples emails? There are tens of thousands of contractors at any one time, in order to make best use of their resources, they would surely...

    IR35 - vagaries of status

    Since agreeing to extend my 3 month contract (private sector client) for another 10 months, i've become more aware of IR35 (just through general discussions and forums like this) as i'm quite new to contracting, and i'm unsure of whether its something to worry about or not. Having had a few...

    IR35 and conference attendance

    Hi, i've been asked to attend a conference by my client (they have agreed to pay), as it will directly assist the project/assignment i'm working on. Does this have any IR35 implications? I've read that things like team building and training DOES have implications (albeit small), and a...

    Expenses for private sector ir35

    Hi, I understand expenses cannot be claimed as tax deductible for public sector ir35, is this the same for private sector? I'm considering a temporary contract which will incur significant unavoidable expenses (travel, subsistence, accommodation) as it's a long way from my home, probably about...

    Well that suggests that it's not a massive undertaking, unless you're caught in a trap of inefficiency and headaches you cant escape from :)

    Payroll for single director (contractor)

    I've set up a limited company to contract through and expect to work no more than a single contract for the entire tax year, paying myself up to my tax free limit then dividends thereafter. I have a few questions: 1. Does it matter when i actually pay myself a salary and dividends? I'm thinking...

    3 month contract expenses

    Hi, im new to contracting, and starting a 3 month contract away from home through my limited co. Its outside ir35. To what degree can you tax deduct day to day living expenses like food? Hmrc suggests if your contract is over 24 months then its considered a normal place of work so you cant...
