Guest repliedwhat happens if you close your existing limited company, and sign the new contract through a newly setup replacement ?
the 2 entities are legally separate, so do they hit you as an individual, or hit the company ?

Guest repliedAfter two years (or actually after the point when you know it will go over two years such as when you begin an extension beyond that point) you are no longer able to claim travel and subsistence payments. Look at Booklet 490 on IR webtulipe.
Not related to a two year period as such but the longer the contract the more likely it is to be considered by the IR as subject to IR35, although length is only one of many factors.

Are there any issues regarding tax/ir35 etc if a contract goes over 2 years?
I have been in the same contract, in the same location and through the same agency for almost 2 years and I think I have heard somewhere that after 2 years in the same contract you are treated differently by IR.
Does anyone know if this is the case, or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely?
Thanks.Tags: None
