B&C reviewed mine, sent out the revised copy to the client (direct contract) and followed up both myself and the client, talked us through the changes using both email and telephone calls. All agreed by the client, no problem. Therefore a face to face wasn't necessary. Danny Batey was the guy at B&C.

I have met contractors who swear by the HMRC IR35 review line.

One of them even got told their contract was outside IR35

Once.....

Sorry for being misleading but I was posting my 'HMRC' suggestion with sarcasm intended. Would be good to do it anonymously just out of curiosity though to see what their own take is on it.

Probably best not to contact HMRC as suggested above. I would use your own counsel rather than asking HMRC's opinion.

Sending your contract to HMRC for 'review' really isn't a good idea. You'll end up getting a horribly biased opinion and, unless you send it anonymously, could end up with a review or enquiry.

I'm sure most of the IR35 specialists (including us!) would conduct a face to face review if required. PM me if you want more details.

IR35 Contract Review in person ?

I’ve been in a contract for a while and I’d like to have a second opinion about its IR35 status. I am aware of the many written Review Services but I feel like I rather talk to an expert in person. That way I can catch the subtlety in their opinion.

So before I start ringing “the usual suspects” any pointers are welcome .
