how IR35 status can be affected if contract for a consultancy which takes contracts from others. As I understand what they do - they take jobs from banks and then hire people on contract to do it and get share in payment.

Is it somehow better/worse than normal schema when contractor is hired through agency?

I think the difference is that consultancy can get a whole project or a big part of a project and create one or more contract jobs. However agent can do only one-to-one basis.

But not sure how it is looked from IR35 prospective.

Any ideas?

Thank you

This is the way I work and I don't think it makes any difference.

In this scenario, the consultancy is simply acting as an employment business so are like any other agency.
