Anyone know what's going on at SJD?
I've been waiting six months now for closure accounts, and of late things have gone very quiet. They don't answer phones, and email responses are either terse or non-existent. Meanwhile my money is stuck in the company. I'm tempted to look at the option of using another accountant to draw up...- Hamlet

IR35 insurance - worth buying at this stage in my situation?
Last time I checked, admittedly a while ago, the tax cover had a condition around the working practices reflecting the contract. But if your working practices really do reflect your contract then you have little to fear from an investigation, assuming your legal costs are covered. If they don't...- Hamlet

PWC IR35 review
Have heard that client will use an independent PWC review for any exceptions to their "no PSCs" policy. Anyone any experience with PWC on this? I think I read on here that they are taking an unsurprisingly HMRC friendly, conservative line that largely ignores case law. But I can't find the...- Hamlet

IR35 - Confirmation of Arrangements
Yeah there's a reasonable chance that in 18 months or so we'll be in quite a good place... lots of educated clients working with contractors to ensure status is clear cut. Indeed it's not impossible that we end up seeing this reform as a net benefit. But right now there's a learning process...- Hamlet

IR35 - Confirmation of Arrangements
I've taken this approach with my client, a large financial, and they are at least considering it. Immediate project manager is on board, but it needs sign off from various places within the bureaucracy, so they may well yet hold to the "PAYE only" line purely out of risk aversion. Not enough...- Hamlet

New Contract - ex-IR35 guarantees?
So where I'm coming from is - the new legislation asks clients to take a *view* on the arrangements, wrt IR35. They've never had to do this before. While, yes, you're right, the reality is the reality, and HMRC could in principle challenge even a shared view held by both client and...- Hamlet

New Contract - ex-IR35 guarantees?
Well, the new legislation asks clients to take a *view* on the status of existing arrangements. My thought is to get them to clarify that up front, not wait for next April. What I'm imagining I guess is that should they say next April "we think this arrangement is inside IR35", that I can...- Hamlet

New Contract - ex-IR35 guarantees?
Hi, Am likely to receive an offer from a new client in next day or two, but I'm inclined to accept it only if they can provide some sort of guarantee that they will view it as an ex-IR35 arrangement come next April. Anyone any views on an appropriate legal form for this? EG - an...- Hamlet
