You should also bear in mind that, if the contract is not a totally accurate representation of your working practises, it will be pretty meaningless when it comes to IR35

Just about to start a new contract, get new company formed etc. Accountants co say they will look at contract to see where I stand with regards IR35.

Spoken to the agency about it and they dont seem to care about IR35.

Are most contracts inside or outside IR35 these days though?

If you're HMRC: Then most fall inside

If you're the contractor: You hope most fall outside

If you're the agent / client: You protect yourself by insiting on Ltd companies so don't give two tulips.

It really depends on sector/rate etc. Most code monkies and low level support will be within IR35. The CTO of a nuclear power station can probably negotiate themselves out of it.
