    Link to the official AS2015 documents

    Yeah, but didn't you know, no one here is inside IR35? (see also, Shawshank Redemption: "hey kid, didn't you know everyone here is innocent?")

    Employers and IR35

    Nope. So I assume this clause was added in light of recent public sector shenanigans.

    Employers and IR35

    Are there any implications for an employer/client if a contract is at some point in the future deemed to be inside IR35? My understanding is that any additional tax/NI obligations fall squarely upon the contractor. Is that right? Reason I ask is that I've got the following clause in a contract...

    IR35 logging daily events that prove you are outside

    Keeping notes is good (particularly in the event of having to recall details 6 years down the line) but most of the things the OP mentions are weak indicators of employment/self employment. An email declining an invite to the Christmas party probably isn't worth keeping... an email where you...

    Income Splitting If Not Married

    I thought if your wife didn't have some demonstrable role in the company, then that was purely avoidance also?

    IR35 - Will I be affected?

    Are you kidding? We're all outside IR35.. like the old joke about everyone in prison being innocent...

    Can the substitute be billed at a lower rate?

    I read it as: same project/work, different scope. So it's a helper/assistant rather than a sub. The builder analogies are bogus - who pays a builder by the day!? - but if someone was building a wall for you and said, look, I won't be in this week, but I'll send the lad in and he'll do a few...

    Stupid IR35 question

    Where's the fun in that?

    First batch of HMRC IR35 compliance letters out

    Yes I was wondering that! "Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?!?" "Oh don't mind me, wait for the contractor behind me, he earns £700 a day!"

    New IR35 Guidance hot off the presses

    All this is squarely aimed at the sector where all the profitable shades of grey regarding IR35 are, ie. IT contractors. If there are thousands of painters and decorators out there working in an office and being told what to do then maybe HMRC should go after them instead. Having said that again...

    Charge for creating own website

    Would he have the right to send a substitute to build the website? I think that's the key issue here.

    Planning the year ahead....

    I'm bumping this as I've been searching the forum for recommendations on easy to use software (other than a spreadsheet, obv) for forward planning. Does everyone still find the idea of planning so dull now that there's a point or so to be scored (alledgedly) in the business entity test for...

    Negotiating payment for additional hours

    Have opened discussions with client, along the lines of "an additional days worth of services needs to result in an additional billed day". Their response is "extra hours during the week are included in daily rate, but weekends are billable." :fight: The case continues...

    Negotiating payment for additional hours

    Should also point out that I tried something akin to the first approach in my previous contract. Didn't go over that well... client agreed to my proposed terms (weekday hours pro-rata, weekends 6 hours per day) and then made a point of letting me know that my (additional) services weren't...
