Hi all,

I'm getting into this contracting lark and am investigating the various options. Seems that the Limited Company v Umbrella comes down to this IR35 business.

I am a software developer, and my impression from some initial IR35 research is that IT contractors will come under IR35? Is that a fair assumption?

Thanks!

Did you do your research by calling HMRC?

To answer the question, no that is not a fair assumption.

Your initial IR35 research hasn't been very extensive has it?

Thanks Moscow Mule.

I've perused these links already. From what I gather, IR35 relevance depends entirely on each individual contract. I guess my question is if that applies to Software Development, ie sometimes you might be covered by IR35, and other times not?
