I've already removed the reference, as someone said, the customer is always right. I was just wondering where on earth they got that idea from.

Surely this makes no difference to them whatsoever does it?

I can only imagine the customer doesn't know what IR35 is, or staff at that company had to aid an investigation/give evidence in court.

No difference to them at all, but as the others have said there's no harm in complying with a customer request and often a bit of good.

You could always put a reference code in the invoice that's meaningless to the customer (even labelled for internal purposes only if you like) that identifies the staff member to you for your own purposes.

Edit. In fact what DaveB said

WHS.

The customer is always right.

You could always replace the name with a reference number if it's that important to you.

Invoices and IR35

Some background to the issue I am about to present.
I am the director of a ltd co that has more than one employee.
I am also an employee and work for the ltd.

My ltd co has quoted for (and is providing) work for a separate company of consultants.
My invoices carry the name of the consultant performing the services. This is for internal use only really, just so that I can keep tabs on who does what and where.

The Company that services are provided to have asked me to remove the name of the consultant providing services to them "As we don't want to get involved in IR35"

Surely this makes no difference to them whatsoever does it?
