For IR35, the only thing I'd avoid is getting expenses paid through the client's expenses system. They pick up bills direct - anything else you add to your invoice and add VAT.
I wouldn't be overly concerned about IR35 for this short role, NAT's advice is sound.

It's quite hard to gauge how much to be scared of IR35. My contract is airtight and my working practices are (I think) reasonably satisfactory, but obviously I have no real concrete answers on whether I'm OK or not due to the whole touchy feely approach to deciding if someone is in or out.
I recently joined IPSE so hopefully overall risk is minimal even if investigated. I just don't know how afraid to be, so I am erring on the side of caution.

Coming to an end so soon after your contract extension?

But yeah, finding it hard to work out how to do this legally. Thanks HMRC.
Maybe I can give IPSE a call for some advice? Anyone ever do that?Last edited by NibblyPig; 11 August 2015, 11:28.

Not sure what a sockie is?!
They renewed me for 1 month due to the project release date being pushed back a month.
Then they came to me and said we have another project that is tangentially related but standalone that requires sending someone overseas for 2 weeks to do some data migration. They asked if I'd be interested in doing that since their permie guys one has just had a baby and the other is needed to oversee the launch.
It'd be a new contract rather than an extension, I'd take a week off in between.
This whole IR35 thing is really pissing me off, what kind of permie does a 2 week stint abroad with no prior training and then is kicked out?

It's all up for negotiation
It's all up for negotiation. Don't forget to include travelling time and all travelling costs and additional fees to cover the extra time away from home.

Looks like they want to organise it themselves (can't blame them, they probably have an account being a huge company), but this looks like an IR35 red flag, cos I should be paying myself and expensing it. Not sure my company accounts have enough cash to pay for business class to the other side of the world...

There is no normal.
I would expect them to pay for the flights and hotel (and anything charged against the room), + add on (e.g) £50 a day on to my daily rate to cover incidentals.
