'Coloured' not PC anymore
I filled in a form yesterday where I had to select "WHITE-BRITISH". That is offensive and racist, but I checked the box and moved on with my life. Sent from my SM-N950F using Contractor UK Forum mobile app- IAmContractor

Convince Client NOT to use CEST
You are probably right. My case is, in a way, a warning call to other contractors, that we need to stand up and fight IR35. On the other hand, I am not giving up on this; I didn't understand it but neither did my client. They thought they "controlled" what i do because they provide me with...- IAmContractor

Convince Client NOT to use CEST
Well. Good news! The client is relenting; they misinterpreted the IR35 question regarding control. They will inform the agency that my contract should actually be outside IR35. Now the fun begins; to claim back 2 years of unlawfully deducted tax. I expect I'm not the only one. Sent from my...- IAmContractor

Convince Client NOT to use CEST
I know I shouldn't, but I cant seem to help myself. I am willing to bet you have been a contractor for all of 5 minutes.

Convince Client NOT to use CEST
Not true. I certainly didn't want to abandon the project as I was (and still am) the primary (currently only) consultant. I accepted IR35 because I actually didn't know much about it. I had no idea how intrusive and destructive it was, because I had never come across it in all my years...- IAmContractor

Lots of great answers, and deffo something to think about. The comment that their answer to the substitution clause is wrong is an interesting one. It is so correct. The problem here is clients don't understand, and my problem is the people making these decisions are unapproachable by me...- IAmContractor

Convince Client NOT to use CEST
I am in a contract working for a public sector client. I have been contracting for 16 years and on this project for 4. When the Public Sector Changes came about my client determined the contract was inside IR35. At the time, I put my rate up and accepted it; thinking it would only be short...- IAmContractor
