i asked my accountant about going perm and the implications therof. apparently hmrc won't bat an eyelid and you'll probably have to deal with SA.
if you have a decent accountant they should sort the transition out for you and advise what to do with your limited, should you have one.

Thanks for the info. Here's hoping that they won't try chasing me with the excuse of "unpaid taxes" and classing Dividends as a salary... etc. etc. Let's see how it goes.

Don't see how they could. Must have happened with lots of people? I am in the same location, for CapG - good luck!

Thanks. I did suspect that I would be ok... but just wanted to make sure if there were anyone else who were facing a similar position. If things go well, I might see you there.

The problem is the fact that I am going to work for the same client... albeit in a different location. Just want to make sure that the good old HMRC won't see my contracting as a deliberate tax avoidance in order to secure a permie role (or whatever reason they chose)

Watch out for the tunnels

Don't think you have a worry with this to be honest.

I think she was referring to your brown tunnel.

Were they self built by the permies or are they the contractor's quick way out?

Not for the Revenue is it?

Yes.

Keep up at the back

The MP may as well say that Blindness doesn't exist as well. Just because it is hidden, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Generally, my spelling is pretty good... but from time to time I will mis-spell a word on the grounds of diminished responsibilities.

Just because I'm Dyslexic... it doesn't mean I can spell.

Just code round that eventuality

If you went permie to contract I coud see an issue.

But contract to permie?

I don't see the problem, you have tax deducted at source as a permie - HMRC will be very pleased.

The only concern I have is whether the HMRC would try and penalise me by deciding my previous contract is IR35 caught as I ended up working for them.
