Qdos Ir35 assessment

[MyUserName]

I did this and it took literally a few hours. They came back with a serious red flag and the client/agency changed the contract accordingly.

Most clients will wait as they appreciate you have a professional process to go through. If they will not wait then there might be something fishy going on - either way you have to make a judgement call on it.

I had my contract checked recently. It took Qdos < half a day.

There's nothing wrong with getting the contract checked over. You don't have to go into too much detail. Just say to agent/client you're checking the contract and will get back to them.

I always use Bauer & Cottrill. Far more professional imo.

As regards clients waiting, some will, some wont.

I sent my first contract for review with Qdos, I'd told the agent that I as going to before they'd got the contract to me. The client didn't have a problem with waiting.

Have you looked at HMRC's success rate wrt to IR35? Given most decent agencies' contracts make a reasonable stab at being outside IR35, why worry?

Short three-monthers, the odd six-monther, no problem for me no matter how the contract is worded, that's not disguised employment.

You were doing great up until this point.

It's the twelve-monthers, two years on site folks that should worry, and if you want that, go permie...

...and then you blew it.

Following that line of thinking, I should have gone permie 23 years ago.

Thankfully, I didn't.

(And yes, I know IR35 wasn't around then. Still...)

Would the clients give you that long to sign a contract?

Depends on the contract start date.

Also if you have to contact the client for some reason or another they definitely give you that time.

This is wrong on both counts.

Why should they worry? length of time is irrelevant.

In touch accounting will give you a free one for nothing and will do it normally within an hour.

Just been reading up on the three free assessments when purchasing the PI insurance. It says it takes 3-5 working days to assess. Would the clients give you that long to sign a contract?
