capita ir35?

[Lance]

thanks for the reply's. Yes i do know of IR35. Issue that i have come across is, its a 3 month contract but IR35 states that you cannot be fixed which doesnt make sense but it is what it is and most contracts are fixed. I did ask capita several times now if its within IR35 and they did say that they would be surprised if it was in. But I would be hired by capita for a project but its working for a government body. so wouldnt the end client be the government body which places me into IR35?

That depends on Capita's contract with the PS body and your role within that.

If Capita are providing you as a bum on a seat then the PS body should determine your IR35 status. Although they may not know this and may not do it, which could leave you in a difficult situation where you determine yourself outside, and if investigated, the PS body just say you were always inside.

If you are a Capita resource, working on a Capita project, delivering to a PS body then the IR35 determination is for you to make but you need to understand it.

I can see you know OF IR35 but do you KNOW IR35. Two different things. Also expand to your reading the difference between our contracts and a Fixed Term Contract which is actually one of employment.

Have a look in the Public Sector IR35 thread if this now involves a PS determination. Might have to do a google search but the question about working for a PS via a consultancy has been covered in there.

And have a look around the forums. A few seconds looking at the threads in General should tell you it's totally the wrong place to be posting I am afraid.

Thread moved.

what's hate got to do with invoicing?
Maybe I'm mercenary, but I'll work for anyone for the right rate.

You will have trouble doing anything you could term "work" there in any case

[Lance]

Well all the permies you end up working with will hate you because capita are wank.

Will you do anything for money??

yup. Short of losing family, limbs, organs or life.
Everything has a price....

what NLUK said.


Also the spec you posted suggests you'll be doing work for various different customers.

That suggests you'll be moved from project to project, as they choose. That would imply SD&C (but again you need to understand it to be sure).

IR35 is about how you deliver those, not what you deliver.

Please take the time to do a lot more reading about IR35 and try understand it. You need to know about it and how to conduct yourself at your client else you are at risk and putting yourself inside regardless of the contract.

IR35 isn't a tick boxing exercise. You need to understand it and live it.

Tons of reading about in in the links on the right hand side -->
Any question you can think off has been asked so search the forums using the google method. <search word> site:forums.contractoruk.com
Use google to find what you need.

If you do all this one thing you will come to understand is the difference between a job spec and a statement of work to deliver something specific. What you posted looks like a job spec to me so a very bad start for you.
