I don't see what the problem is, especially in current times when who knows when/how things will start to pick up again.
My brother has got about 4 clients on the go at once. He's working very hard and long hours but he can see his future pipeline is drying up, so make hay when the sun shines and all that.

FFS, it's survival of the fittest and the most business-like.
If you are feeling a conscience, give half to the NHS knowing you/one did a better job than anyone else to make such a donation.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI find that having multiple roles makes life much more interesting (whether in Chinese proverb terms or not, I can't say). As for selfishness - that's between you and your conscience.
Who knows when the train, be it gravy-filled or otherwise, will end.
Get to work on whatever is offered.

I know the flippant answer will be yes, and do I really want the added stress of trying to juggle two diaries for meetings etc? Am I selfish for hogging two roles when I should be helping out those contractors on the bench?

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThere will always be some, but I wonder if they are outliers. It depends how much HMRC go for the low hanging fruit.
Someone who has been working for the same bank on the wharf for three years as a contractor and suddenly is declared inside IR35 is firmly going to be within their sights, especially if they're a UK resident and citizen and always have been.Last edited by LondonManc; 6 May 2020, 14:46.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI would also expect (but I don't know) that having multiple clients would decrease your likelihood of being investigated.
JB is right that technically, it's not much of a factor. Practically, it almost always will be a significant factor.

Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostI think there's a little bit of false dichotomy here. In real life, multiple clients almost always brings with it evidence against SDC and against MOO. If you have multiple clients, you can always find things, like Lance's business trip, that are really useful to have in your IR35 dossier to help you demonstrate, if not a lack of, at least limits to, SDC.
If you've got a reasonable case, multiple clients will probably seal it. In an area with so much subjectivity, having something like that in your arsenal is really useful.

We are satisfied that control of Ms Kelly’s work pursuant to the hypothetical contract lay with Ms Kelly. In our view, the level of control falls far substantially below the sufficient degree required to demonstrate a contract for service
