The Funny Picture Thread (Try and keep it PG13)
+ = A decline in quantity. I thought they were mostly pretty funny, tho there were lots of repeats. You may therefore see me as easily pleased, and you may be right.- SouWester

The Funny Picture Thread (Try and keep it PG13)
I've just viewed every single post in the 1000+ pages on this thread. Took me a week but well worth it. Beats the crap out of IR35 and coronavirus for giggles.- SouWester

The Review and "Retro" IR35 Investigations
"CH54200 provides details of the time limits that apply to deceased persons." Damn that's cold. They'll pursue you even into the afterlife.- SouWester

The Review and "Retro" IR35 Investigations
Yeah OK that's not good... ...I'm convinced. Well then, reducing risk seems like even more of a good idea. A VERY good idea. A VERY **** good idea. Pity those poor zombietractors sleepwalking into this. Yes, pity. I don't think I would wish that on anyone.- SouWester

The Review and "Retro" IR35 Investigations
I'm not scared of HMRC... I'm terrified. However, I've still reading this as people who moved awat from a PSC on April 2017 only have 12 months worth of liability to worry about (if the 4 year rule is applied of course). There's an example is here that bears this out: CH51820 - Compliance...- SouWester

The Review and "Retro" IR35 Investigations
Will they have six years? I have googled "time limit on HMRC investigations" but only come up with how far back they can go to recover money (4, 6 or 20 years), rather than how long after the event they can trigger an investigation. I also found some stuff saying they will raise issues with...- SouWester

What's a "shilling"? Is it a small shill?- SouWester

Not disagreeing as you know your own mind, but many would take the opposite approach. Maybe it's just on my mind as I am likely going permie, and am feeling uneasy about it.- SouWester

ECHR and IR35
An interesting post, but I think the above puts paid to it as a way forward, unless an altruistic soul with great bags cash and a few spare years steps forward. I'm with you as I think are most: got responsibilities.- SouWester

IR35 penalty calculator
It's all about the data IMHO. If they have the data to ID you as a 'fraud suspect', then you're at higher risk of being investigated. If they don't, then you're at lower risk of being investigated. This is just due to numbers of targets and costs to HMRC. My ClientCo is not doing SDS AFAIK...- SouWester

The Review and "Retro" IR35 Investigations
Yes an interesting post. But, realistically if you've got the stage where a human is investigating I think this would be a weak indicator, and that they would put more weight on the facts of your pre-April engagement. I am not taking up the offer of an 'inside' contract and my deliverables are...- SouWester

Bad news - IR35
No the 12 months is a 'promise' to go easy on incorrect status determinations made in the first 12 months. Cold comfort when most of us have been blanket-banned. They've made no promises about retro that mean anything even if you were to trust them to keep their word.- SouWester

Bad news - IR35
...is the most disingenuous, mileading part of the whole sorry mess. They promise to get easy on all the blanket-banners? Geez thanks guys you rock. Meanwhile blanket-banners don't trust HMRC any more than we do, which is why they are blanket-banners.- SouWester
