Contracting for a client based in Panama?
Hey, I found a client who urgently needs someone for short-term work on a project since they miss the deadlines (IT, remote, from the UK). Are there any risks of contracting if the client is in Panama? Would HMRC flag that as a dodgy scheme or something? Thanks- dogeson

How to provide a substitute?
Hey, So I'm contracting for US client through LTD (retainer fee, fixed monthly payment + shares for the director). I have all 3 Outisde IR35 points reviewed, but to strengthen my position, I'd like to send a substitute for a week. As I understand RoS is a killer feature and if I can do that...- dogeson

If caught IR35, how much you pay back?
Hello, My question is, suppose HMRC finds you retrospectively inside IR35. Do you have to pay back only NI and income tax? Do they offset the tax bill by the amount that was already paid as corporation tax, dividend tax etc.?- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
I didn't fully ignore the advice. Basically they said: Hey, you do all this points and you're outside IR35. I went to the client, updated the contract, did everything they said. Then: Hey, but the stock options are in your name. I went to the client, they said that there's no way legally to...- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
The thing I'm considering, is ok, my relationship with the client is Oustide IR35 at the moment, since I have RoS, MOO etc. and my WPs are compliant. But let's say I want to take on permanent employment, that would mean a WP and relationship change no? For example, I'll be subject to normal...- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
Yeah I said accountant, but really what I mean is the accountancy firm I use they provide professional IR35 review service. So initially they said my RoS is not right, and they provided the wording to make it unfettered. Same with MOO and Control, added a few new clauses there. Only on the share...- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
Understood yep, make sense. The way I'm working now for a US client. I did make a contract review (not with QDOS) which kind of showed some problems, then I amended the contract to be IR35 compliant (RoS, MOO, control). It was still deemed inside by the accountant I used (like, everything green...- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
Sorry, I'm stupid! What if I work in the UK but the company is overseas? If they find a contractor for the US client and deem them inside, how they can find the list of other 500 contractors? They go to US and the client says "Sorry, confidential information", end of story- dogeson

IR35, USA client and umbrellas
Yeah, it does feel that way (i.e. employment), but if the WPs change. Say, if I go employment, there are stipulated hours in the contract, bank holidays, SSP, pension etc. + employement rights. Thus I can state that I'll be subject to more control, and there's more MOO from the client side, no...- dogeson

IR35, USA client and umbrellas
Sorry, I think I made a mistake by assuming the umbrella is the same as PEO. Apparently that's a PEO so I'll be actually employed rather than a contractor, thus they would handle NI etc. So from the HMRC perspective (at least on paper), I'm employed for the company A, they shouldn't really see...- dogeson

Likelihood of HMRC investigation
They don't care because that's so unlikely to happen I suppose. The odds are not in HMRC's favour. And even if they waste all the taxpayer monkey to bring him to the tribunal, how likely they can get that money back from the company? They'll have to go and make director personally liable (which...- dogeson

Has anyone actually been investigated?
Hello, I'm reading here a lot about IR35.. but really, has anyone actually been investigated or it's just a scary deterrent? Looking at the case history, that's about 1 or 2 a year? and targeting celebrities. Like what are the real risks? Juding by this article, it's close to zero. So why do...- dogeson

IR35, USA client and umbrellas
Hello, I've been contracting through my LTD for more than a year for a US based client (no UK presence), and I self-determined myself to outside IR35 (RoS, MOO, Control, managed to amend my contract so they are more unfettered). The only red flags are that I am personally getting stock options...- dogeson
